College For Professional and Adult Learning
Eleven evening majors are offered. Classes are held at the main campus in Des Moines, or at Camp Dodge in Johnston, Iowa, a western suburb of Des Moines.
CPAL classes are offered during the day, evenings, or alternate Saturdays, and are often accelerated classes, using half the number of weeks to cover the same amount of material than a typical Grand View class.

Famous quotes containing the words college, professional, adult and/or learning:
“The mode of founding a college is, commonly, to get up a subscription of dollars and cents, and then, following blindly the principles of a division of labor to its extreme,—a principle which should never be followed but with circumspection,—to call in a contractor who makes this a subject of speculation,... and for these oversights successive generations have to pay.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Three words that still have meaning, that I think we can apply to all professional writing, are discovery, originality, invention. The professional writer discovers some aspect of the world and invents out of the speech of his time some particularly apt and original way of putting it down on paper.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Fashions change, and with the new psychoanalytical perspective of the postwar period [WWII], child rearing became enshrined as the special responsibility of mothers ... any shortcoming in adult life was now seen as rooted in the failure of mothering during childhood.”
—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
“Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.”
—Bible: New Testament Festus, the Roman Procurator, in Acts 26:24.
