摘要

The race or higher education used to be an 18- to II-year-old living and studying full-time on a college campus. Today, only 16% of those pursuing higher education in the U.S. fit that mold, according to U.S. Department of Education's Commission on the Future of Higher Education. They are being replaced by adults age 25 and older. Since 1970, the number of adults age 25 and older enrolled in college has nearly tripled, from 2.4 million to an estimated 6.7 million, according to National Center for Education Statistics. In 2006, adult learners accounted for about 38% of 17.6 million students enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities. Despite the fact that higher education costs have increased more than 200% in the past two decades, according to Department of Education, most U.S. adults believe that advanced learning is an investment that pays. In fact, 9 of 10 believe higher education is worth the time, energy and money it requires, 60% say the benefits outweigh the investment and 29% say the benefits equal the investment.
