Continuing Education and Community Service
In keeping with its role as a publicly supported institution of higher learning and its mission to meet community needs, ASU offers a variety of continuing education and community service programs. Through the Division of Continuing Education, non-credit courses are made available on a demand basis to those individuals, regardless of age, seeking self- improvement, professional development or personal enrichment. Whether one aspires to enhance basic academic skills (in English, math or computers); to become a better worker and manager; to learn how to swim or play a musical instrument; to improve his or her performance on a standardized test; or to discover his or her historical roots, he or she will usually find a course to meet that special need. [Suggestions for additional offerings are also welcome from the public at large.] The Division of Continuing Education also offers workshops, mini-courses and training sessions to meet special community needs. In addition, it cooperates with professional groups and community organizations in sponsoring seminars and conferences. [If your group would like to host a conference or seminar at ASU, please call 334-229-4686.]
The non-credit continuing education program offered through the Division of Continuing Education has no specific admission requirements. Persons participating in the non-credit program may enroll in as many courses as they desire. Homework assignments and examinations are not requirements; however, certificates of completion are awarded to those participants who successfully complete a course or a program.
Many of the non-credit courses allow the participants to earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). The CEU is a nationally recognized uniform unit of measurement designed to measure and record an individual’s continuing education accomplishments. Records are kept on all participants who are awarded CEUs.
Each non-credit course has a fee. Fees are listed in the course catalog published on our website at www.alasu.edu; click on Academics/Continuing Education. You may obtain a course brochure from the office of Continuing Education, located 1030 West University Drive.
Off-Campus Graduate Offerings
Since the 1920s, Alabama State University has offered instruction for the people of Alabama at sites other than Montgomery. Currently, graduate classes are offered at sites in Birmingham, Brewton and Mobile. Courses offered at these sites are listed in the regular schedule book, and students register in Montgomery during the regular registration period. Students taking these courses must meet the same academic requirements and deadlines as students attending classes on the main campus. Instruction at these sites is of the same quality as that on the Montgomery campus. All students in degree programs at off-campus sites must take at least 50 percent of classes required for the degree at the main campus in Montgomery.
The Graduate School offers courses leading to the Master of Education degree, the Master of Arts degree, the Master of Science degree, A and AA certification, and recertification at off-campus sites. Students who enroll in off- campus classes can be assured of receiving high-quality instruction by an experienced and dedicated teaching staff. For information about course offerings, call the Director of off-campus programs at (334) 229-4899 or 4250, the Birmingham site at Miles College (205) 925-2753, the Brewton site at Southern Normal School (251) 867-4831, and the Mobile site at Bishop State Junior College (251) 433-4691.
