CONTINUING EDUCATION, WHAT IS IT?

UWA, through the Division of Continuing Education, will be dedicated to meeting the continuing education needs of the West Alabama/East Mississippi region. The Continuing Education Program will include, at first, on-campus Continuing Education Programs, concentrating on personal and professional development classes, with classes meeting on the main campus and, possibly, in the future, at other locations in UWA’s service area. It is projected that, in the future, the Continuing Education Program will expand to include certificate programs, in-depth personal and professional development courses, and an Elder Hostel program.  Regular academic admission to the University will not be required.  There will be no grades and no pressure to perform in class.

WHO WILL TEACH THE COURSES?

Instructors in the UWA Continuing Education Program will include individuals from all walks of life—UWA professors, businessmen, professional people, etc.  All will be knowledgeable in their field.

WHAT TYPE OF COURSES WILL BE OFFERED?

Continuing Education courses could include everything from woodworking to Chinese cooking.  Possible CEU or Certificate courses in Banking, Real Estate, Nursing, and Education are projected for the future, as well as personal development courses in computers, tax courses, and investments.  The possibilities are endless. Please consult the current UWA Continuing Education Calendar for current and future classes, workshops and events.
