Weber State University 321 Continuing Education Community Services Richard O. Ulibarri, Dean I he Weber State University Continuing Education and Community Services offers more than 2,000 courses, seminars, workshops, and conferences each year to some 45,000 students. Continuing Education works closely with the University's academic departments and colleges, and with professional, trade, and special interest associations and organizations. Through these efforts, Continuing Education is able to provide students with opportunities to study everything from accounting to zoology, and customer service to production inventory control. Weber State University Continuing Education programs are designed with the following purpose in mind: to deliver quality education programs at times, at places, and in formats convenient to the needs of lifelong learners, including students interested in obtaining a college degree, career enhancement, or intellectual and cultural enrichment. Continuing Education recognizes that most of its students have work, family, and other personal responsibilities which limit their participation in traditional college activities; therefore, convenience is a major factor in the design of Continuing Education programs. Most classes are conducted once or twice a week, usually in three-hour or 2- 1/2-hour sessions, for 10 weeks. Conferences, seminars, workshops, and special programs are typically presented full-time for two to five days providing intensive exposure to information and techniques in a given field. The locations for Continuing Education programs have also been selected for maximum convenience. The majority of the classes are taught on campus, but others are offered in community locations throughout the local area and the state of Utah, including sites in Layton, Clearfield and the Ogden City Mall. Other courses are presented at organizations interested in on-site training. Self-directed courses serve students in remote areas or those unable to travel. In addition, Continuing Education has international programs. These examples of flexible scheduling and convenient locations begin to address the needs of the Continuing Education students. Since 1964, Continuing Education and Community Services has contributed to the professional, cultural, and economic growth of local communities. The following is intended to introduce you to the many aspects of Continuing Education and Community Services. Weber State University
