Find the Right Fit for You
Evergreen Professional and Continuing Education offers flexible, career-connected learning with evening and weekend options built for busy schedules. Whether you’re advancing your career, gaining new skills, or exploring a passion, you can dive in without putting life on hold.
Our approach to education is transformational, not transactional, with an interdisciplinary learning model that draws on a tradition of collaboration. If you’re interested in short-term certificates, plan to complete your degree, or something in between – you belong here.
Specialize with Certificates
Build career-connected skills with certificates that earn you academic credit or CEUs, all in under a year. Learn by doing, apply what you know, and grow within a supportive, engaged community. Stack your certificates toward a bachelor's degree or skip enrollment and complete a certificate as a stand-alone credential – whatever fits your goals.
Complete Your Degree
Our dedicated learning community is ready to support your degree completion; we recognize the wealth of knowledge and skills you bring into the classroom and work with you to build on that foundation. Our Prior Learning from Experience program allows you to earn academic credit based on your previous employment, volunteer, military or other experience.
We’ve built part-time degree paths with flexibility and customizability in mind, so you can pursue what you want, on your schedule. We also encourage you to build your own path to create the degree perfect for you.
