Back to College® is a news and information resource for adult re-entry
students pursuing professional development or an advanced degree.

Content
Feature articles must address issues that are of importance to the older
student: obtaining financial aid, distance education, finding the right
program (comparing costs and quality of curriculum), graduate school, or
attaining academic excellence (study skills and success strategies).
Career management and articles on successful transition are appreciated.
We are especially looking for stories on the re-entry student
experience. Articles may be anecdotal, or include examples and resources
where readers can obtain more information. Web resources cited are
desirable for an online publication.
