School of Continuing and Professional Studies

In the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, students can decide if they prefer the structure of a classroom course, the convenience of an online course, or the flexibility of a hybrid course that meets both on campus and online.

In addition to our full semester, summer and online courses, our institutes and winter session programs offer you the opportunity to take many of our high quality courses in an accelerated one-week or two-week format.
