Professional and Noncredit Education

The separation between work and learning has disappeared. There are no longer walls between education and daily life. We are in the Learning Age, and Professional and Noncredit Education is designed to meet the challenge. It¹s learning custom-built for the workforce, for K-12, and for pure enrichment and joy of individual growth and discovery--and delivered using the latest in online technology.
 
Professional and Noncredit Learning draws upon the vast knowledge that exists at OSU, in Extension programs, in our community colleges and K-12 schools, and within industry, and our communities.  It's built on partnerships, and a collective vision of what Oregonians need to succeed in their workplace, their schools, and in their personal lives.
