Options for going back to school

As an adult learner, there are so many options available to you – a wide variety of majors, schools, degree levels, learning formats and so on.

If you’re going back to college to advance your current career, chances are you already have a major in mind. Take some time to consider what skills are necessary in the role you’d like – such as managerial or financial know-how – and plan to take classes that will focus on those areas.

If you’re ready for a new field, you may be asking, “What should I go back to school for?” You’ll need to think about your strengths and weaknesses (be honest here!), what type of work environment you prefer, how much flexibility you desire, and so on.
