Does Kent State University offer programs with CEUs?

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) represent a system for tracking an individual’s non-credit educational training. These opportunities can include professional development, human resources, supervisory and management training, leadership development, skilled trades, manufacturing technology and others that include meaningful instruction but have no university accreditations attached to it. Each CEU is the equivalent of ten, 50-minute contact hours (10 hours = 1.0 CEU). The programs offered at Kent State University usually do not apply to teaching re-certification. However, many programs have been approved for re-certification requirements in a specific field.


Can I get college credit for open enrollment, public programs?

Because the programs offered through KentStateUniversity’s workforce development and corporate and community services offices are non-credit classes, no credit is received. Certificates of completion will be issued for these non-credit programs. Continuing education units (CEUs) may also be issued for most professional development programs.  If you’re interested in KentStateUniversity’s credit programming, please visit http://www.kent.edu

Are of all of Kent StateUniversity’s facilities Americans with Disabilities Act compliant?

Is there financial aid and/or tuition assistance available for non-credit programs?
