Continuing Education

Welcome!

There are lots of ways to continue your learning, and lots of benefits too!   The Division of Continuing Education is here to help you achieve your learning goals.  You can choose to take university courses, executive and professional development courses, or come to lectures and events.

On this site you will find information about how to choose among credit and non-credit courses; programs offered in the evening, off-campus and through the web; programs to help prepare you for undergraduate study and for the GMAT test; and how to navigate your way through university. Check out the section on Adult Learner Services.

If you have been out of school for a while, come see us!  Did you know we have over 1000 students on campus 25 years of age and over.  More than 20,000 professionals have taken courses from our Executive and Professional Development program.  We can give you some advice on how to begin and what to expect.  We also have specific information of interest to mature students, including suggestions on financing your education.

If you are an employer wondering about the benefits of investing in your staff, rest assured we strive to make the most of your limited training dollars. We constantly monitor business needs to offer relevant programs, and we understand the need to provide value for your investment.  We are also closely following the work of the The Canadian Council on Learning, which is undertaking significant research on learning in the workplace.  Check out the section on Employer Benefits under the Adult Learner Services.
