Special Academic Programs and Services
Pueblo Continuing Education Program have the same
credit value as those conducted on campus and may
be used in meeting the institutional residency
requirement.
A primary aim of the Division of Continuing Education
is to provide courses to part-time students. A variety of
educational methods - classroom instruction, correspondence
courses, on-line courses, conferences,
workshops and seminars - are utilized to expand
educational access and meet the needs of students at
convenient times and settings. Students may earn
academic credit toward a degree, study for career
advancement, or pursue cultural and avocational
interests.
Continuing education courses are of varied lengths.
Intensive classes usually are held in the evening or on
weekends for the convenience of working students.
Although the majority of course offerings are initiated
by the University, courses may originate through
requests by individuals and interested groups. Such
special request courses may take place either on or off
campus.
The division also administers the Senior to Sophomore
Program in the public schools. The program enrolls
eligible high school students in dual-credit courses
which are delivered by part-time University faculty on
the high school campus.
In-house training programs are available to meet the
ever-changing needs of business and industry. The
programs can be designed to meet the specific needs
of an organization and may be presented at the
company site or, if requested, at the University. Similar
services are available to school districts.
