Wings-Adult Education
What makes you strong?
At Meredith, we know strength has little to do with age – and everything to do with determination. And while it’s never too late to achieve your goals, even the strongest woman can use a little help to reach her full potential.
That’s why we created Wings, an adult education program for women. You'll build on your knowledge, experience, and strengths as you choose from more than 80 majors, minors, and academic programs. And as a Wings student, you'll receive the direction and challenges you need to help you soar. So whether you’re seeking your first college degree or pursuing your next career, Wings at Meredith will make you even stronger.
For women who want to transfer college credits and complete their degree at Meredith.
Meredith is dedicated to the success of every student. The Wings director supports our students in many ways:
- Provides support and coaching for Wings students
- Provides academic advising for Wings first-year students
- Helps students connect with staff and resources across campus
- Facilitates connections with other Wings students and provides networking opportunities with alumnae through annual events such as Connections and Conversations Dinner and Spring Picnic
- Provides guidance in scholarship search and application
- Teaches FYE 100 – a First Year Experience course specifically designed for Wings students
