Adult Continuing Education

Learning doesn’t stop when you receive your diploma. That’s why NC State offers a range of continuing education courses and other opportunities for lifelong learning. The McKimmon Center for Extension and Continuing Education includes a Continuing Education and Professional Training Center that offers seminars, short courses, conferences, certificate programs and distance education opportunities for personal or career enrichment. Its Computer Training Unit has been providing computer and networking training and certification for almost 20 years.

Another McKimmon Center unit, NC State’s Encore! Center for Lifelong Enrichment, provide noncredit short courses, study trips, special events and extracurricular activities designed especially for adults aged 50 or over. Encore! also offers social events and study trips, and hosts active book, movie, and writers groups.

NC State’s Non-Degree Studies Program provides classes for students who currently do not wish to pursue a degree, while NC State’s Extension Programs offer numerous continuing education courses and seminars that are open to the public.
