Advice to the Senior Class
If you haven't set foot in a classroom for decades but are thinking of going for a degree, here are some steps you can take to prepare:
AUDIT
Sitting in on a class won't count toward your degree. But it's a good way to get a low-risk taste of college life before you matriculate.
DO A LIFE REVIEW
Schools often award credits for life experience. Think about what you've done professionally and personally over the years and ask the registrar if your experiences can be counted toward a degree.
CONSIDER FINANCES
Many state and private schools give tuition breaks to senior scholars. Be sure to inquire about the best available deals.
GET WIRED
If your spreadsheet and Web-browsing skills aren't up to par, sign up for some training.
