GEORGE
MASON UNIVERSITY
Lifetime
Learning
 With
an undergraduate base older than the average for American universities,
George Mason University sought to play to its strengths by calling
attention to the need for continuing college-level education.
We
created the Lifetime Learning survey of college graduates, aged
30-55. The survey found a strong endorsement for continuing college-level
education, with more than half of the respondents saying they had
actually taken college-level courses, primarily for career purposes,
since graduating.
Almost
half said they would choose a different major if they could do it
again, with most saying they would focus more on science or technology.
We also uncovered some restlessness within the information technology
industry, whose respondents were almost twice as likely to switch
careers as the average graduate.
The
George Mason Lifetime Learning findings were reported in such national
and business publications as The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal, Investor's Business Daily, The Financial Times, and
MSNBC Business, along with education publications and information
technology publications like Information Week.
