What Can UWF Continuing Education Do For You?
Continuing Education provides credit and non-credit education and training opportunities that meet individual needs of learners. Through participation in University and community educational partnerships, we create and support programs that meet the needs of the regional and state workforce. Where do you fit in?
Develop, Teach and Offer Courses

We support colleges, departments, programs, faculty and staff in the process to develop and deliver new non-credit and credit courses. Non-credit courses enrich the community’s knowledge of a particular topic. Credit courses can also be restructured to accommodate a nontraditional learner’s interest in a topic without tests and grades.
