What is specialized continuing education?
Specialized continuing education is a targeted, practice-oriented form of training built upon a higher education degree that provides specialized knowledge in a specific field. It is not a master’s program, but rather a shorter-term continuing education program: students can earn a minimum of 60 and a maximum of 120 credits; the duration of the program at our university is typically two semesters, though some programs last three or four. Completion of the program is certified by a diploma.
Applicants must hold a degree certifying higher education, or they may apply if they have successfully passed the final exam in one of the majors specified for the program and their degree is currently being issued.
