Continuing Education

Introduction

Continuing Education welcomes more than 20,000 registrants to some 1,200 courses annually. Offerings include certificate-credit, and stand-alone courses and seminars—all of which are designed with part-time learners in mind. Cont Ed students learn in ways, at times, and at a pace that fits into their lives.

Certificate-credit courses are offered in areas of Adult Learning, Business and Professional Programs, Computing and Information Technology, English as a Second Language, Fine Arts and Visual Design, Fifty Plus, French as a Second Language, Languages of the World, and Humanities. Topics in Humanities vary, and include: anthropology and archaeology, astronomy and astrophysics, food and culture, history and society, personal finance, philosophy and religion, wellness, and writing skills.

Students can ladder some Continuing Education certificates towards a U of C Degree Minor in Workplace Learning. Another opportunity to earn credit towards selected U of C degree programs is through the French Language Instruction Program. Academic preparation courses are also available for U of C degree programs.

Courses are delivered on the main and downtown campuses as well as online. Customized training for groups—from public, corporate or non-profit organizations—is also available.

Continuing Education instructors are professionals actively working in their fields of expertise and academics who teach regularly at the University of Calgary.
