Continuing Education

Abstract

Mission The mission of LSU Continuing Education is to identify, create, and support lifelong learning opportunities through quality programs that are timely, capitalize on University expertise, and address educational needs with both credit and non-credit programs. LSU Continuing Education serves over 36,000 registrants each year through a wide variety of credit and non-credit programs. Since 1924, CE has provided flexible, relevant educational programs to meet the needs of both traditional and nontraditional students whether on campus or across the globe. Last year, participants in our programs came from every parish in Louisiana, every state in the nation, and 28 countries. From a world-class Management and Leadership Institute to programs designed for lifelong learners of all ages, LSU Continuing Education works to support, promote, and enhance LSU’s Flagship Agenda through both face-to-face and distance delivery methods. All programs offered through Continuing Education follow the criteria for evaluation established by the Southern Association for Colleges and Schools (SACS). Credit courses are listed on an LSU transcript along with oncampus courses. Many Professional Development courses award Continuing Education Units (CEUs). All courses are taught by LSU faculty or qualified subject matter experts. To address the changing needs of lifelong learners, Continuing Education programs focus on four main areas: Credit Programs, Professional Development, Pre-College Programs, and Personal Enrichment.
