Adult and Continuing Education Administration degree programs

A master's in Adult and Continuing Education Program Administration prepares you to lead the programs that serve adult learners, from adult basic education and high school equivalency to workforce training, English language instruction, and community and continuing education. It attracts working professionals who already teach or coordinate in these settings and want to move into director, program manager, or administrator roles. Graduates go on to run adult education departments at community colleges, school districts, nonprofits, correctional education programs, and workforce agencies. Because these roles sit outside the K-12 classroom, the degree is career and leadership focused rather than a teaching credential.
