purpose

The purpose of the Office of Continuing Education and Distance Education is to provide continuing education programs designed to meet the intellectual and cultural needs of on-campus and off-campus students. To achieve this purpose, the University makes available a diversified selection of evening classes, early morning classes, week-end classes, degree-related extension classes, degree related extension programs, workshops, and a comprehensive summer program. These programs allow professional achievement and personal development at times and locations convenient for students who must plan study programs around other activities.

Distance Education Programs: New to UNCP for Fall 2002 are programs and courses delivered via the World Wide Web. Internet based programs include the B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Management for graduates of accredited two-year institutions or those with 60 hours of undergraduate credit. The Masters in Public Administration (MPA) is also available in an online format. Both programs can be completed entirely through the Internet. UNCP offers one graduate and four undergraduate degree programs at Richmond Community College in Hamlet, N.C.; two graduate and two undergraduate programs at Sandhills Community college in Pinehurst, N.C.; and one undergraduate program at Fayetteville Technical Community College in Fayetteville, N.C. All formal education requirements, including residence requirements, may be fulfulled at each campus

New to UNCP, we are now offering courses on base at Ft. Bragg.

Distance Education Courses: Distance Education courses lead to earned credit toward a degree offered on the main campus or the UNCP degrees offered at Richmond, Sandhills, and Fayetteville Technical Community College.

Evening Classes: The University of North Carolina at Pembroke offers a number of evening classes for individuals who wish to earn degrees as full-time or part-time students. Degree-seeking students should contact department chair for assistance in working out plans to fulfill degree requirements. All requirements for the B.S. degree in Business Administration, with a concentration in Management or Applied Science, may be completed while attending only evening classes. (See Business Administration and Economics.)

Students admitted for degree-credit course work in the evening must meet minimum University requirements for admission. Applicants meeting minimum University requirements will be admitted as special, part-time or regular students (see Admissions).

Extension Courses: Extension instruction leads to earned credit toward a degree offered at UNC Pembroke but is offered outside the regular session.

Short Courses, Institutes, and Conferences: In addition to helping students meet licensure requirements, the University meets special needs of students through this program and continues the tradition of providing education to all segments of the population.

The University awards Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to participants in qualified programs. Continuing Education Units are a part of a nationwide recording system to provide a uniform measure of attainment in non-credit educational programs. One CEU at UNC Pembroke is defined as "ten contact hours of participation in an organized continuing Education experience under responsible, capable direction, and qualified instruction."
