Continuing Education
What is Continuing Education?
Continuing Education presents an opportunity to pursue formal learning opportunities that are not focused on a degree outcome. Continuing Education provides professional and community enrichment by delivering innovative, quality education and support services to learners in pursuit of lifelong learning, professional development, or career advancement.
Continuing Education Can Provide:
- professional development seminars on-site and through online education on a variety of human resource topics, such as stress management, time management, communication, and leadership skills.
- customized professional development and refresher courses using industry professionals.
- seminars on issues pertinent to small-business owners or individuals interested in starting a small business.
- short courses that satisfy continuing education unit (CEU) requirements.
- leisure learning programs according to students’ needs/interests.
