A program at Lehman College is giving adults a second chance at higher education.
Lehman's Adult Degree Program has catered to those who missed out on college after high school or didn't finish when they first attended.
Lehman sells its program as a "one-stop shop" experience to attract adults looking to return to school.
The program includes a parenting class that teaches adults relevant topics that have real-world applications.
Advisors say they work with students to figure out how many credits they need to graduate.
