Center for Adult and Extended Education

For many, the learning experience continues far beyond high school and college graduation.  However, the needs of adult learners are very different from those of traditional age students.  Faced with family and career responsibilities, adult learners tend to be a focused group, seeking educational goals that are achievable in compact timeframes.  Some are interested in completing a college degree or seeking continuing/professional development.  These students need course schedules that are flexible and allow for full-time job obligations.  Other adult students are interested in learning for learning's sake.  To address the interests of this diverse community of adult learners, Dominican University of California developed the Center For Adult and Extended Education (CAEE).

CAEE produces all academic and non-academic programs and services designed for the adult learner, including:

• Pathways (Evening/Weekend) Degree Programs for Adult Learners (BA, BS)
• Summer Session
• Department of Professional and Continuing Education (PACE)
• Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
• Distance and Extended Learning
