The adult learning model at Concordia provides a unique alternative to thetraditional method of pursuing a degree.

The goal of the adult learning experience is to relate newly acquiredinformation directly to the student‘s personal and professional life.14.02.01 Course LoadsThe ADP program is designed with adult learners in mind, recognizing their ability to apply information to lifeexperiences and therefore learn it more quickly, and also recognizing their outside responsibilities to family, career,and other areas. Because of the pace and intensity of the ADP program, it is intended that students attend only onecourse at a time. Academic performance can suffer if students take multiple classes in the ADP format at the sametime.No student is permitted to enroll in more than six (6) credits simultaneously in any combination, including but notlimited to: courses with other cohorts, correspondence courses, online courses, or concurrent enrollment in othercolleges/universities. Students desiring to enroll in more than 18 hours in any one term are required to have earned a3.00 cumulative GPA or higher. No student is permitted to enroll in more than 19 academic hours in any combinationof courses, including but not limited to correspondence courses or co-enrollment.
