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.
