Description
Through credit courses, non-credit courses, conferences and institutes,
residents of the community and state are provided the opportunity to continue
their education in a manner uniquely suited to adult learners. Academic units
at UMKC offer continuing education to extend their teaching resources beyond
traditional programs.
Offerings include liberal arts lectures and seminars; professional, refresher,
remedial and postgraduate courses; and educational programs designed for the
analysis and study of major social and urban problems. Formal education may also be continued through credit courses or by enrollment in correspondence courses
for academic credit. Frequently, public forums concerned with vital issues of the
day are organized and offered in order to increase both the number and effectiveness
of people who work toward solutions to community problems.
Non-credit continuing education activities are carefully planned undertakings,
usually involving an academic department and an organized group from business,
industry, government or the citizenry in general. Citizens throughout the state
are served by UMKC through its relationship with the eight University of
Missouri extension administrative regions.
Inquiries about specific program opportunities may be directed to the
