We realize that adult students typically have different needs than the traditional 18-23-year-old student. We are eager to offer support to meet those needs and help adult students gain a sense of belonging at Penn State!

Penn State's definition of an adult learner is a person who:

• is 24 years of age or older; or

• is a veteran of the armed services; or an active duty service member; or
• is returning to school after four or more years of employment, homemaking, or other activity; or
• assumes multiple adult roles such as parent, spouse/partner, and employee.
