Continuing & Professional Education Units
In keeping with the land-grant tradition of the university, Continuing and Professional Education offers noncredit education and training to all the people.
CPE encompasses three sub-units: Office of Professional Development, The Computer Training Unit, and McKimmon Conference and Training Center, focusing on the development, facilitation, and delivery of continuing education and professional programs for business, industry, and other organizations.
Broad-based national conferences on a variety of timely topics as well as intensive, highly focused seminars and workshops take advantage of the very best campus as well as non-campus instructional resources, while up-to-date computer training is also available on a variety of different levels and on a wide range of topics.
Special efforts are made to meet the training needs of industry and government agencies through general as well as customized offerings. The university awards Continuing Education Units to participants in qualified programs. CEUs are part of a nationwide system that provides a uniform measure of attainment in noncredit educational programs.
