RELATED INFORMATION

Our Mission

The Division of Educational Outreach is the administrative unit responsible for off-campus programs, distance and continuing education. Its mission is to extend the educational programs and resources of the University to the region and beyond thus broadening access; serving underrepresented populations and supporting learning intended to stimulate economic development. Adult students, military personnel, students in foreign countries and learners who are unable to attend traditional campus-based credit courses and programs constitute the predominant student populations served by the Division.  In fulfilling its mission, the Division works collaboratively with the academic colleges and other administrative units of the University.

The Continuing Education component of the Division is responsible for non-credit offerings that focus on enrichment, professional development and community outreach.  The Division is the primary unit of the university engaged in offering non-credit, short-term offerings on-site or on-line that provide value-added learning opportunities for a variety of populations.
