FLEXIBLE ACCESS TO CONTINUING EDUCATION

Expectations of continuing education are different today than they were a few years ago. Students want flexibility in their continuing education that makes it compatible with their work and family lives. Stackable programs allow those interested in continuing education to expand their skills and bring their knowledge up to date on an individual and flexible basis.
