Learning as an adult poses several challenges to the leaner. As Kara et al. (2019) notes, adult learners often face program-related challenges. In this light, a learner may have a tight working schedule that may not allow attending classes as the university expects. As a consequence, when choosing the university and the program to enroll in, it is needful to be keen on the expectations. On that note, Ashford University offers a flexible online learning program that gives you (the learner) the best control of your learning.

One of the most important benefits of online learning at Ashford University is the advantage of planning on when to attend lectures online. In other words, the university sets the course objectives, expectations and engagements with the student in mind. Therefore, even if one works for long hours, there is an opportunity to attend to one bit of the course for a portion of available time every day. As such, it is possible to complete work engagements and school engagements as well.

Moreover, adulthood education is problem-driven. Ashford University allows the learner and opportunity to schedule learning according to the available time. This way, one can fix the problem and still meet other life needs.
