Have you ever considered continuing education in your active adult years? Higher education doesn\u2019t limit itself to any age, and there are plenty of options to help active adults learn a new subject and keep their minds sharp.<\/span><\/p>\n

If continuing education is something you\u2019d like to pursue, there are a lot of options for subjects to explore and types of classes to take – but there\u2019s one big decision to make first: Will you be taking your classes online, or on a physical campus? Both options have benefits, and it really depends on which suits your lifestyle better. Read on to learn more about which option is best for you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Online Learning<\/strong><\/p>\n

The primary\u00a0benefit of online continuing education classes\u00a0is that you can generally take the class on your own time and from the comfort of your own home. There is no need\u00a0to worry about traveling to and from classes, and can you work online classes into your current schedule as you see fit. Though many people\u00a0may be daunted by the idea of taking these classes online, many programs offer simple online interfaces that are easy to navigate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just because your classes are online doesn\u2019t mean you’ll have zero interaction with your teachers or fellow classmates! When you consider email, video chatting and other methods of online communication, the sky\u2019s the limit when you need to ask your teacher a question or confer with a classmate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing to take your classes online also means you have a large variety of choices at your fingertips. Just do a quick Google search for \u201ccontinuing education classes\u201d and you\u2019ll see what we mean!<\/span><\/p>\n

Campus Learning<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you prefer a more traditional style of learning, taking continuing education classes in a campus setting could be the perfect option for you! It really comes down to your learning style. Even though online classes can still offer an impressive level of interaction, some people simply learn better and enjoy learning more when they\u2019re in a physical classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

An additional advantage to campus learning is that you\u2019ll have face-to-face interaction with fellow classmates. For social butterflies who are interested in both learning and having a social component, campus classes are perfect. Luckily for our residents at The Villages at Two Rivers, nearby Anne Arundel Community College is a nationally-ranked campus that offers plenty of subject and class options to fulfill your continuing education needs!<\/span><\/p>\n

Whichever option – online or campus – you decide to pursue, continuing education is a great option for active adults to make the most of their 55+ years!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
