To provide an extension of the day school accommodating more students and allowing them greater flexibility in registration. 5. To be cognizant of community needs for educational programs, to keep abreast of community developments, and to serve as the liaison between the community and the Schools of the College for use of facilities and employment of faculty members in classes, conferences and community development activities. PROGRAMS OF STUDY Many of the courses listed in the day section of the catalog will be taught in the Evening and Off-Campus programs in addition to those listed in the Continuing Education Section. Continuing Education provides the following programs of study: 1. Regular college courses in all departments of the college in which a student may accumulate credit toward an academic degree; however, not all schools of the College have an evening offering sufficient to meet graduation requirements by attending evening classes only. 2. General education courses in the college area requirements for degree seeking students and for the adult who wishes to broaden his knowledge. 3. Discussion programs for those who wish to become better informed citizens. 4. Technician and trade preparatory courses leading to employment in the occupational areas. 5. Courses designed to upgrade employer and/or employee competency. 6. Trade extension refresher programs for journeymen and technical courses related to on-the-job experiences for apprentices. 7. Hobby and recreational programs for adults to better plan leisure time and retirement activities. Continuing Education — Summer School An effort is made to present any course for which there are both a sufficient demand and available facilities. In most cases, a minimum of 10 students or a minimum guarantee by an organization for a specific program is necessary in order to justify the cost of the program. FACULTY All members on the instructional staff are selected for their outstanding recent experience in education, business, and industry. Most of them are employed during the day in responsible positions in their fields of specialization, and bring to their classes the benefit of current knowledge and practical experience. EVENING, LOGISTICS, AND OFF-CAMPUS PROGRAMS Dix W. Cloward, Assistant Dean Terry E. Paskins, Coordinator Robert G. Stein, Asst. Prof. Logistics Evening and off-campus courses are provided for those students who would not otherwise have the opportunity to satisfy their educational objectives. Courses which will satisfy general education requirements, and specific "major" requirements leading to a baccalaureate degree are offered. In addition, avoca- tional courses are provided for the adult student. EVENING STUDIES DEPARTMENT The Evening Studies Department serves the needs of adults and youth of the Weber State College area who desire courses for personal improvement or wish to increase their skills for occupational efficiency. It also serves those students who find it expedient to attend evening classes instead of day classes. Some special classes which are within the purview of Continuing Education may be held during daytime hours on campus when the need is established. LOGISTICS STUDIES DEPARTMENT The Logistics Studies Department offers a program leading to a baccalaureate degree in Management-Logistics. It is uniquely designed to better meet the immediate as well as the long-range educational needs of individuals interested in this academic area. 350 351
