Product Description
Our nation is facing a great education crisis, and if we fail to respond quickly and seriously, we can expect our economy to grow weaker and our standard of living to decline. Courageous Learning is for those adults who, seeking to face this challenge, are considering returning to school, either to finish an undergraduate degree or to start a graduate one.

Knowing that a decision to return to school can be expensive and difficult, especially for those who may have been out of the classroom for decades, we have attempted to provide answers for some of the most common questions heard from returning students. We also profile five accredited institutions that offer excellent service and value to adult learners, and we outline ways for prospective students to find the right institution in terms of fit and cost. Each of these schools is non-profit, long-established, and focused specifically on the needs of adults.

In addition, we present the stories of several adult learners who have shown uncommon persistence in pursuit of their degrees. These stories were edited from interviews conducted within the last year. In their own words, these courageous learners describe the disparate challenges they have overcome, either to achieve personal and professional success or to transform themselves into productive members of society.Product Description
