Community Education is founded on the philosophy that learning is a lifelong process and that many of our learning needs are met outside of formal degree and certificate programs. The School of Community Education’s mission is to make the College more accessible to the public and to meet community needs not served by traditional college programs.
From Aerobics to Zen, Community Education has something for every member of our community!
Sincerely,
Mr. Geoffrey Gathercole
