More and more adults are seeking to develop themselves and improve their professional opportunities by completing a college degree. Whether business professionals, salespersons, nurses, parents, or persons engaged in any other profession, many working adults recognize the value of furthering their education. And more and more universities are providing special degree tracks for such non-traditional students.

The purpose and value of work from a Christian perspective.

Christian worldview and adult education: What difference does

it make?

Integrating faith, learning, and living in the professional world.
