Eligibility

About Weekend College
"Weekend College at Barton," offered through the College's Office of Lifelong Education and Extended Programs, provides an educational alternative to men and women 22 years of age or older who work or have other commitments and who are unable to attend academic courses that are offered at traditional times during the week. This format is a means by which these students may earn a baccalaureate degree, update or gain skills for professional advancement, prepare for career change, or pursue personal interests in one or more of the liberal arts and/or professional programs. Weekend College offers working adults an opportunity to study with other adults who have similar interests and lifestyles and who are equally motivated to pursue their education.
Important Features of Weekend College
- Adults age 22 and older are eligible.
- Classes are offered in a trimester system (fall, winter, spring terms in each academic year).
- Classes usually meet on alternating weekends on Friday evening, Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday afternoon.
- Classes are taught predominantly by Barton College day faculty on campus with other college support services available on weekends.
- Unless otherwise indicated, all classes necessary for graduation are taught on the weekend. (Practicum courses and student teaching for Elementary Education majors and field placements for Social Work, Criminal Justice and Criminology, and Gerontology majors will eventually require weekday involvement).
