Colleges are creating new programs for older adults who are considering what to do next as they near the end of their careers.
These programs are designed for middle-aged professionals who typically have at least two decades of experience. About eight exist so far, many at elite institutions such as Harvard University and Stanford University, and more schools are developing their own offerings. One-year programs often range from $50,000 to $60,000 or more, depending on the institution, with discounts available for some.
