Can I earn academic credit towards a baccalaureate or masters degree by taking a continuing education program?
No. Continuing education programs do not award academic credit. However, many of our continuing education programs award other kinds of credit tied to the requirements of various professions. For example, many of our programs offer CPEs, which are used by accountants to meet their annual continuing education requirements; other programs offer PDHs for engineers, CLEs for attorneys, PDUs for project managers, etc. Almost all of our programs are approved to offer CEUs, or Continuing Education Units, which are a standard measure of instructional time and quality that is accepted in many contexts as satisfactory documentation of educational achievement. The Office of Continuing Education maintains permanent records of the awarding of CEUs (as well as CPEs, PDHs, etc.) and can furnish a transcript to individuals who need to verify their completion of these programs.
