Huston-Tillotson University, Adult Degree Program Details
Huston-Tillotson University recognizes that the adult learner differs greatly from the traditional college student. Adults bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the classroom and share responsibility with the instructor for successful outcomes. HT's curriculum provides valuable educational experiences for working adults whose access to higher education may be otherwise limited, due to personal, financial and professional responsibilities.In HT's programs, courses are offered in a format designed specifically for working adults. In order to accommodate students' busy schedules, classes are offered once a week, with one learning team meeting a week. HT's one-time registration process is completed at the beginning of the student's program.Because HT understands that many adult students have taken courses at a variety of colleges, HT accepts transfer credits from regionally and some nationally accredited institutions. Also, HT recognizes most American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations, including credits related to military training. When a student applies, HT orders official copies of their transcripts and conducts an evaluation to determine which credits will transfer. The adult degree program is structured to accommodate working professionals, enabling them to achieve their educational goals as quickly as possible, while balancing their busy professional and personal lives.
