Learning Never Ends
The University of Dayton has a tradition of including adult learners in its community. Adult learners can strengthen skills and expand horizons beyond the classroom.
Adult Learning
Not everyone can be or wants to be the traditional undergraduate or graduate student. Sometimes you may want to only take a class or two to test the waters. Or maybe you're looking to complete a degree part-time. Perhaps you'd just like to take an art history course because, well, you love art. Within these programs, you can find flexible, affordable ways to take classes without enrolling in traditional degree programs.
24+
The Adult Degree Advancement Program allows students 24 and up to complete their bachelor's degree at their own pace.
Academic Enrichment Studies
We offer the flexibility to take courses of interest to you at a discounted rate without dedicating yourself to a degree program.
We're Here To Help
While each of our departments is somewhat autonomous for your specific needs, we've combined them into one division to better serve all of our adult learners across the board.
