The mission of the Office of Electronic and Continuing Education is to strive to be regionally responsive, nationally prominent, and internationally engaged. We are committed to creating and providing learning opportunities that respond to the constantly changing needs of corporations, organizations, and individuals. The unit’s primary business is to design, develop, and deliver a variety of educational programs required to meet the learning needs of a diverse adult population. Through credit and non-credit courses, conferences, and institutes, individuals are provided the opportunity to continue their education. To meet this obligation to provide educational opportunities, it is the unit’s continuing responsibility to identify and remove constraints of time and place that might burden learners and limit access. With fully accredited on-line degree programs from the associate through the specialist levels, and a full array of support services, no student in need of an education should feel place or time bound.
NSU offers a variety of electronic credit courses, from a selection of courses offered via compressed video to entire degree programs online. One goal of the Office ofElectronic and Continuing Education is to provide information and services to faculty and students involved in these electronic courses. Through Electronic Learning’s web portal, “eNSU,” students have access to course listings, course rotations, help pages, and links to admissions, registration, fee payment, and financialaid. ECEworks to provide the bestpossibleelectronic learning experience for both faculty andstudents.
The non-credit program offers short courses and community services for those not interested in formal degree programs. The University also awards continuing education units (CEU’s) through the non-credit program. National guidelinessetforthintheCommissionof Colleges’document C.E.U. Guidelines Criteria are followed.
The Office of Electronic and Continuing Education works with business and industry as well to provide noncredit training geared toward professional development. In addition, credit classes can be offered on-site which may be applied toward two- or four- year programs.
