Expanded course offerings, an increased pool of instructors and convenient access to the library and food court will be among the benefits St. Ambrose adult learners enjoy when adult evening classes are relocated to the main campus next fall.
Director of Adult Learning Kathleen Andresen, RN, DNP, is overseeing the transition from the 54th Street facility, one she said will improve the learning experience for working students and adults.
"This is an opportunity to grow, adjust and improve our adult-learning programs in a time when more working adults are seeing the worth of obtaining a St. Ambrose degree," Andresen said.
St. Ambrose will continue to offer flexible, nighttime class schedules and accelerated undergraduate degree programs. The move to campus also will provide adult learners access to a new "one-stop shopping" approach to student services at St. Ambrose, along with greater connections to academic departments, professors and other students on campus.
In addition, the adult-learning program will be able to make greater use of learning formats offered on campus, such as weekend, hybrid and online classes.
In the past 20 years, more than 1,000 students have earned degrees through St. Ambrose adult learning programs. The 54th Street facility will continue to house the Master of Social Work program.
