Adult Degree Program
About the Program
A university education is about learning to ask and answer complex questions. The JMU Adult Degree Program (ADP) allows highly motivated and self-directed students to pursue the questions about which they are most passionate. ADP students epitomize the intentional intellectual engagement at the core of a great liberal education: focused, rigorous, disciplinary learning, even when integrating multiple disciplines.
ADP is not a means to vocational or applied versions of existing degrees; nor does it provide a secondary alternative to (or a “light” version of) existing majors. It is, instead, a place for students 22 and older to complete their bachelor’s degree. It is a place for intellectually curious, reflective, and self-directed students who embrace learning for its own sake. This program is not a place to just “get a degree;” this is a place to pursue deep learning.
