Continuing Education helps busy professionals throughout the region meet their ongoing professional development needs providing distance and online learning courses that fit scheduling and geographic needs. These courses and programs are offered through various modes depending upon the content, student needs, the resources available, and the faculty member's preference: face-to-face at an off-site location, correspondence, video conferencing, web-supported, or completely online. We also provide services to distance students, such as technology support and electronic access to library resources.
