Adult Learners

We get it. You have busy lives and hold multiple roles

That’s why we created Pathways for Adult Learners (PALS)

To help make your educational journey clearer, more convenient, and cost-effective. We know you play many life-enriching roles such as parent, worker, spouse, partner, mentor, caregiver, and community member. Isn’t it time now to take these experiences to the next level, leading to career advancement, increased earnings, networking opportunities, and/or personal achievement? Our faculty, staff, and counselors are prepared to help ease your transition back into the classroom. We are committed to providing you with a clear academic plan to further your education and to achieve your academic, career, and personal aspirations.

A Quality Education at an Affordable Cost

At Westchester Community College, we understand that cost is often a factor. As the most affordable college in Westchester County, we offer a range of options to help you afford your college education. These include federal and state financial aid, institutional scholarships, and a payment plan that allows you to pay for your education in four affordable installments. For more information on student financial assistance options, please visit the Office of Student Financial Assistance at: https://www.sunywcc.edu/apply-enroll/financial-aid/, or email them at [email protected].
