Overview
About the programme
Lifelong learning for adults is an increasingly important educational specialization in the 21st century. Rapid changes are transforming society and making it critical for adults to continue to learn across the lifespan. Much of that learning takes place in classrooms, but a lot of learning also occurs informally through interaction in groups, communities, organizations, and social networks.
The intellectual framework of the program examines the relationship of adult learning to organizational, management and leadership issues. The Adult Learning and Leadership program, at the Ed.M. level, at Columbia University prepares students to oversee and manage adult learning programs and interventions, with a focus on strategic learning and whole system change. Students can deepen their capabilities as facilitators of learning and in helping organizations, communities, or other institutions to support learning for individuals and for the organizations or other social units that benefit from the lifelong learning of its members.Programme Structure
