The Center for Continuing Education's mission is to support the efforts of the institution to develop well-rounded leaders and critical thinkers who can solve problems in an increasingly complex, dynamic and global society. The Center is dedicated to extending the non-credit academic services of the university, through a variety of technologies and off-campus instruction, to those who are unable to avail themselves of university instruction through regular resident registration study and to business, industry, educational institutions, professional organizations, governmental units, and other groups of adults who need non-credit courses, conferences, institutes, workshops, seminars, short courses, and special training programs.
