The Office of Continuing Education provides leadership for lifelong learning and distance education. In collaboration with members of the university community, we design, plan, and present to diverse audiences credit and noncredit programs relating to the University’s land grant mission of teaching, research, and public service through our three programmatic units:
Academic Outreach,
Conferences & Institutes, and
Allerton Park and Retreat Center. Whether it is through online learning, degree completion, professional development, or learning just for the fun of it, we offer the campus community’s wealth of educational resources and learning opportunities to people of all ages and locations.
Academic Degree Courses and Programs Undergraduate- and graduate-level courses and programs in a variety of disciplines.
Distance and Online Education Many of our continuing education courses are offered online via the Internet, for academic credit, professional development, and/or personal enrichment.
