Continuing & Distance Education
Individuals may take high school courses or continue their post-secondary education by taking additional courses or programs through a university, community college, the local school board, or other educational institutions.
Continuing education can lead to certification in a particular field, skills training, professional development or completion of a new diploma or degree. It can also be a more informal process that involves personal growth and enrichment through additional study and general interest courses.
Continuing education can also take place online. The term distance education refers to courses where students and instructors are located at a distance from one another. Students enrolled in distance education courses can complete the course in their home and earn high school, university and college credits.
