What is Adult Education?

Faulkner State Community College’s Adult Education Program provides adults with an opportunity to learn the skills necessary to function more effectively in our changing society.

The Adult Education Program provides the books and all instructional materials at no cost to the student.

The Adult Education Program teaches using the prescriptive method which enables the participant to be taught based on what he or she as an individual needs academically.
