Wisconsin Colleges Take Steps to Help Older, Nontraditional Students - Arlen Boardman, The Post-Crescent, Appleton, Wis.
The universities of Wisconsin of the Fox Valley and Oshkosh are betting the nontraditional student segment of their undergraduate populations is going to be around for a long time -- even though student numbers have slipped some in past decade. The four-year UWO school and the two-year UWFV school in Menasha have adapted curriculums and class scheduling and provided major support systems for the adult starting college at an older than traditional age. That trend is expected to continue.... Its Center for New Learning has a unit, dating back to 1979, that caters to adult students. With dramatic changes from its early days the center now offers courses on weekends, evenings, a blended format, distance education, online learning and interactive TV.
