Adult Learning
The
Office of Adult Learning
The Office of Adult Learning coordinates and administers programs
and services to adult learners. These include the Adult Degree Program,
the Community Enrichment Series, Leadership Seminars in the Humanities,
and Advanced Placement Institutes, as well as admitting and advising
nondegree seeking students.
The
Adult Degree Program
The Adult Degree Program was established in 1982 to meet the
needs of nontraditional adult undergraduates who wish to pursue
a degree as full-time or part-time students. Students admitted to
the Adult Degree Program are required to take Liberal Studies 1010
in order to take advantage of the features of the Adult Degree Program,
specifically the opportunity for independent directed study and
credit for prior learning. Adult Degree Program staff provide individualized
academic advising and evaluation of previous college work. For more
information, contact
the Office of Adult Learning.
Community
Enrichment Series
Since 1972, Millsaps College has offered to the Greater Jackson
community a variety of opportunities through the Community Enrichment
Series. These are non-credit courses which require no prerequisites
and no examinations. They cover a variety of special interest areas
such as "Talking Your Way Through France," "Understanding the Stock
Market," "Computer Basics," "Assertiveness Training," "Landscape
Design," and "Pottery." Enrichment courses are available in the
fall, winter and spring.
Leadership
Seminars in the Humanities
Established in 1987 and made possible in part by a grant from
the National Endowment for the Humanities, Leadership Seminars in
the Humanities bring together Millsaps professors in the humanities
with corporate and professional leaders in the community. These
seminars, which carry graduate credit, offer an opportunity for
serious engagement with intellectual issues affecting society and
the individual.
Advanced
Placement Institutes
Designed for teachers who teach Advanced Placement courses to
high school students, Advanced Placement Institutes are offered
each summer with instructors recommended by the College Board. Participants
work with these master teachers to plan and prepare courses that
will help students to become well prepared for college courses and
to perform creditably on the Advanced Placement examinations.
Principals'
Institute
The Millsaps College Principals' Institute provides personal
and professional growth opportunities for principals and assistant
principals of public, private, and parochial schools. The Institute
is an effort to form partnerships between Millsaps College and the
K-12 education community in order to strengthen education in Mississippi.
Administered by the Millsaps Education Department in collaboration
with the Mississippi Department of Education, the Institute awards
professional development credits to administrators who participate
in its programs.
