Adult Degree Program
The Waldorf Adult Degree Program was started in the Spring of 1989 in an effort to address the educational needs of working adults in the North Iowa area. The program is designed to provide adults the opportunity to complete their associate in arts degree and their bachelor of arts degree in business in the evening. Normally classes meet twice a week during four ten-week terms each year. This accelerated format allows working adults to complete their associate's degree in as little as two years and their bachelor's degree in business in four to five years.
Registration: To register, a student may either call the Adult & Continuing Education Office (641-585-8149) or mail in a completed application and registration form. Students entering the Adult Degree Program need to complete a simplified application for admission to Waldorf College prior to taking classes. Students may register for a classes in the Adult Degree Program starting four weeks prior to the beginning of a term. The last day to register for a class is the first night a class meets. Students are encouraged to register early since there are a limited number of openings in each class.
Tuition/Financial Aid: The tuition for the classes offered by the Adult Degree Program is $221 per credit hour. Tuition is payable to the Waldorf College Business Office. Financial aid is available to students who are enrolled at least half time (one course per term) and who meet eligibility guidelines. Students interested in financial aid should contact Duane Polsdofer, Director of Financial Aid (641-585-8121).
