Western Oklahoma State College recognizes that education is more than a one-time
experience leading to a degree. In today’s world of rapid change, there is a need for
formal education to be a lifelong process.
Continuing education non-credit and credit courses are offered for those individuals
who wish to upgrade present skills or learn new ones.In addition, many programs are designed to enhance the quality of living in the
community through cultural and vocational areas.
Continuing education non-credit courses may be designed to assist business,
industry, government, and other professional groups in meeting staff development
and continuing professional education needs.
Courses may also be designed for individuals, clubs, or organizations. The
requirements for a class to be offered are an expressed need, a sufficient number of
participants, a qualified instructor, and in some cases, appropriate equipment.
Persons completing courses designed as professional or skill development courses
may receive certificates showing class work completed. Persons in continuing
education who want a certificate of completion should request one at the beginning of
the class.
