Tapping theories of learning, leadership, and organization development to develop mid-career and senior professionals to be scholar-leaders related to education and change at the individual, group, organization, community, and societal levels.
The mission of the adult education program mirrors the three-fold mission of The University of Georgia – to teach, to research, and to serve. What makes the program’s mission unique is the central idea of adult education–that conscious, systematic, purposeful learning should be a lifelong process for everyone.
