Is There a Boom in Adult Learners? Dean Seth Green & Lee Greenfield on NewsNation with Blake Burman

There is a growing demand for serious, rigorous education among adults in the second half of life and the Graham School at the University of Chicago is at the center of that conversation. Dean Seth Green and Lee Greenfield joined NewsNation's The Hill with Blake Burman to speak about what lifelong learning looks like in practice. Lee's own path makes the case better than any statistic could. This weekend, he graduates from the Master of Liberal Arts and steps directly into the Basic Program, a great books curriculum grounded in primary texts across philosophy, literature, science, and social thought. His transition from one rigorous intellectual community into another reflects a broader shift in who is seeking out serious education and why. The Graham School has offered programs for adult learners for more than 130 years, drawing students who are not finished thinking — whether they are mid-career professionals, recent retirees, or somewhere in between.
