The Office of Continuing and Distance Education offers a wide range of graduate-level workshops in conjunction with the College of Education, Health, and Human Services.
Workshops are characterized by cutting-edge topics, innovative formats and unconventional scheduling.
Workshops can be offered any time of the year. They need not fit into the "regular" University schedule and can be run on weekends, evenings and over breaks.
In addition to classrooms and Student Center meeting rooms on the Kent Campus, workshops can be held online, on-site at businesses, schools, hospitals, libraries or other settings. Credit workshops may be offered at Regional Campuses.
Select a credit bearing workshop, then attend and successfully complete the workshop.
Yes. Participants who successfully complete credit-bearing workshops will be granted university credits.
No. Credit workshop participants are graded on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis.
Credit workshops, like credit courses, must meet University and Ohio Board of Regents standards for contact hours and out-of-class time, and must adhere to the cost per credit hour set by the University Board of Trustees. Participants in credit workshops are evaluated according to the instructor's clearly detailed criteria. Noncredit workshops are not tied to the University fee structure.
