The survey results included the following: (1) the majority of older adult programs come under what is called Community Services, Adult Education, or Short Courses;(2) most colleges conduct non-credit courses with fees between $25150 per class; (3) several colleges allow "audits" of regular courses with fees waived for those over 60; (4) 50% of the League schools say they have a specialprogram and/or center for older adults at their college; (5) League schools involved in Older Adult Education employ many more part-time than full-time staff with more than 80% of those teaching classes for the older adult learner being part-timers; (6) 75% of the colleges surveyed offer non-credit classes to seniors; and (7) full-term courses are often taught to seniors for credit at off-campus sites. Following the summary of survey findings, the report provides individual descriptions of the adult centers and programs offered at 16 member institutions. Then, the report profiles 13 special program offerings, including older adult seminars and curriculum. Appended is a list of contact persons for all colleges and programs profiled.

Charles and Carol Bartunek Foothill-Do Anza Community College District April 1989 2 REST COPY AVAILABLE Tk FOREWORD Ore of the great issues of CommuniV College Educationtoday is that of access. While many forces have historically tried to close thatdoor to allow only an elite trickle to pass through, othermore vibrant issues have spoken to responsiveness. Such an issue is that of serving the senior membersof our population. Across the nation, colleges and universitiesare discovering a new source of students. These students are different in that theyare older, more mature, have rich and vibrant life experiences andcome to the educational arena ready to grow and learn. In America today the country is experiencinga revolution of tremendous demographic proportion. The increase in medicalknowledge and the great attention to physical fitness in the general population havehelped increase the longevity of men and women and extended theretirement and productive period for all. The League for Innovation in the CommunityCollege is at the forefront of educational opportunities for olderpersons. League schools are expanding their horizons by developing innovative and comprehensiveprograms for seniors. The following report is an initial attempton the part of the League for Innovation to present the various opportunities availablefor older adult learners among member schools. Dr. Thomas H. Clements President EAGUEfrirINNOVATION Foothill College In the CommuistyCotkite April 1989 rI PREFACE The League for Innovation has placeda high priority on meeting the emerging needs of senior adults in the educational market place. According to the publication of theinstitute of lifelong learning, titled Callessfantanioradarlaunars In 1984, the Census Bureau reported 28 millionpersons 66 years of age of older.This represents 11.90 percent of the U. S. population, or aboutone in every eight Americans. This num* has increased by 2.3 millionor ten percent since 1980, compared to an increase of only four percent for the under 65 population. Assuming a retirement age of 65, senior adultscan expect to live an additional 16.8 years. By the year 2000, senior adults over 65 are expected to represent 13 percent of the population, and if current trends prevail, the only populationgroup experiencing significant increases in the next century will be more than 55years of age. The American community college has seen declining en-rollments in the numberof traditional degree-seeking students coming through its doors. College and universityenrollments in general have declined as the last of the baby boomers have completed theireducation. However, on the other end of the population equation is the increase in the senior adult population. The American community college is in a unique position to take advantage of thedemographic shift. As community-based centers the American community college is inan excellent position to develop innovative learning programs and attractever increasing numbers of senior adults to their campuses. The League for Innovation and the American Association ofRetired Persons (AARP) are currently embarking on a cooperativeprogram to share program information and review ixsues regarding senior adults in community colleges.Information from this study will hopefully provide a starting point for what types ofprograms and services are offered at League institutions and perhaps serve as an introduction to whatcan be accomplished in the future. The information on member institutionswas gathered through a survey sent out in late January of 1989. The survey asked these institutions to identify innovationsthey developed for senior adult services and programs. Our thanks to all those who contributed to this study: LeagueRepresentatives, staff members at Foothill and De Anza Colleges, Colin Bell, Institutional Researchat Foothill, Nancy Cole and Karen Webb, and staff members at the League and AARP Offices. Anadditional thank you to Dr. Thomas H. Clements, President of Foothill College, for hiscontinued support of this project, and a special thank you to all the senior adult students and staffwho helped develop this growing enterprise.
