Trinity’s adult studies program is a non-traditional program serving adults age 23 and older. The adult
studies program provides the adult learner with the opportunity to earn 14-68 semester hours of
credit, depending on the program in which the adult learner is enrolled. Classes are taught in a manner
conducive to adult learning. An atmosphere of shared family, career, and age interests develops
among the adults. Adult students who succeed are self-directed and goal-oriented individuals.
