While I am mentioning University of Monnesota resources for returning students I should also mention the Back-To-School Advice for Adults section of the College for Continuing Education website. This site contains more information about deciding to go back to school, applications and tips for success once you return.
The University of Minnesota has a Career and Lifework Planning center whcih can help you decide if you want or need to go back to school and if so, how you might be able to accomplish it.
Workshops, individual consultations, online tools and other resources are available.
