The UBC Adult Learning and Education graduate program aims to foster knowledge generation, refinement, sharing, and practical implementation regarding adult education across various settings. It cultivates thoughtful scholars and practitioners capable of influencing social structures to advance inclusive, critically engaged lifelong learning opportunities. As Canada's longest-running graduate program in this field, ALE traces its origins to social welfare movements, community building initiatives, and extension education practices. The program prepares individuals to become transformative leaders who champion accessible learning throughout people's lives. Through the ALE curriculum, learners examine the multifaceted environments of adult education while exploring their professional responsibilities through diverse theoretical lenses and philosophical approaches.
