Continuing Education

Postsecondary education that advances one's career or provides personal enrichment without leading to a degree is generally known as continuing education. RAND's research in this area of education has focused on such diverse topics as improving the participation of adult learners in the U.S. military, continuing education in the Arab world, and the economic benefits for the general population stemming from greater educational attainment.
