Mars Hill University’s Adult and Graduate Studies (AGS) programs have been serving non-traditional learners in western North Carolina since the 1970s. An enrollment path for working adults, Mars Hill’s Adult and Graduate Studies programs provide an opportunity for students to begin or complete an undergraduate degree, graduate degrees or teacher licensure and licensure add-ons . AGS programs are core to the university’s mission of educating students to be leaders in their professions and communities. Students benefit from small classes, dedicated faculty, and evening schedules that meet the needs of working adults.
