Downloading and learning from iTunes University courses can be a great way for adults to expand their minds and learn new topics so their thinking stays sharp. In addition, if you're either planning to go to college or already in college, you can take an iTunes University course to get ahead or supplement your current class work.

With enough iTunes University courses stored on your iPad, you can learn a little bit whenever you have a free moment such as while waiting in a doctor's office, during your lunch break, or right before you go to bed. The more often you study a topic and learn about it through books, class lectures, and iTunes University courses, the more likely the information will make sense and help you master the topic.

The combination of your iPad and iTunes University can make a college education easier and more convenient than ever before. Now all you have to do is figure out what you want to learn and devote time to learn it.
