Courting the Adult Learner

What adult learners need from traditional colleges and universities. Although I have a doctoral degree in education: curriculum and instruction, I decided that I wanted to get an Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I had two criterion at the start of my search. I wanted a wholly online degree program. I wanted a Massachusetts state school (I am an adjunct professor), because I will would hopefully be eligible for a discount on tuition. A wholly online degree program for a Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing is not to be found in Massachusetts. Framingham State University came the closest but there were English requirements that were courses only available during the day and at the university.
