Welcome to AHEA
The Adult Higher Education Alliance (AHEA) is an association of people from across the country who are engaged in action learning, reflection and discussion which we bring to our own lives and into our colleges and universities as teachers and administrators.

We are united by our commitment to adult students, adult education professionals, alternative degree programs for adults, and research supporting adult higher education.

Our Annual Conference is experiential learning by, with, and for practitioners who are committed to learning in action, reflection, and sharing in a community of like-minded faculty and administrators in alternative higher education.

We welcome New Members who are committed to alternative higher education for adults. Please take a moment to learn more About Us.
