Bellarmine University (KY) President Susan M. Donovan, Ph.D., wrote:  When you think of college students, you likely picture nervous, excited 18-year-olds making their first forays into the real world. We are welcoming a number of those first-year students to Bellarmine University this month — 600 of them, in fact. But we are also paving the way for different types of students — many who have been in the real world for years — to earn a college education. We are doing so by launching new programs that target the needs of adults seeking to complete four-year degrees.
