Professional Development Studies

The education of professionals does not end with the achievement of a degree. Professional competence requires a commitment to lifelong learning and a continuing effort to update knowledge and skills in order to improve the state of the art of practice as society`s needs and technology change. Consequently, the school provides the means for acquiring specialized competencies, skills in new areas, and updating of professional knowledge and techniques.

Opportunities for continuing professional education and development are available to practitioners in fields related to SCILS program offerings. These opportunities include attendance at a range of credit, noncredit, and certificate programs offered by Professional Development Studies, certificate programs involving either credit or noncredit education, or both, enrollment in some graduate courses on a nondegree basis, and contracting for customized in-house training to meet an organization`s human resource development needs.
