Continuing Education and Outreach

Perhaps you only need training in one particular subject. Often called open enrollment, our individual classes and workshops offer training for a wide variety of interests throughout the year (including seasonal offerings).

Why the classroom?
Although technology has made social interaction more accessible, those who prefer face-to-face communication will benefit most from classroom learning. The classroom experience offers more opportunities for group work and study sessions. It allows for instant feedback from instructors and peers instead of waiting for a response on an online forum or email thread. The social aspect of a classroom setting promotes networking with others having similar interests. And, in some instances, may even present new opportunities in the workplace.

Choose from over 600 online courses on topics ranging from hobby and personal interest to the latest trending business courses. Whether you are looking to learn something new or get better at something you already do, our online solutions will let you attain your learning goals without putting life on hold. Many of our 6-week courses now offer a self-paced option.

The Online Experience
If you have a packed work schedule or limited free time, online learning may be your best choice. Probably the most significant advantage is that it can be made to fit almost any schedule. Most online courses follow a weekly format where you are expected to complete specific tasks and assignments before the end of the week. Others are available in an on-demand format that lets you set the pace entirely. In short, online learning adapts to your schedule by allowing you to complete your work anytime, anywhere, while still having time to fulfill your other commitments. Plus, there's never a problem finding a parking space!
