Non-credit courses do not carry college credit - and typically do not require exams.

Anyone interested in self-improvement, whether personal or professional.

We are continuously expanding our offering of courses each quarter in areas such as Professional Development, Creative Arts, Computers and Technology, Health and Wellness, and Personal Enrichment. Our course offerings are limited only by imagination and the availability of qualified instructors.

All you need is a passion for the subject, expertise or skill in that area, and a desire to share your knowledge with others. A sense of humor and good communication skills are also important. You must be flexible and have a desire to educate students regardless of age, sex, and background. If this sounds like you, please contact us! Proposals are encouraged but are not viewed as contracts or commitments by Continuing Education.

Continuing education is truly for everyone! Our department serves students throughout Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties.

Continuing Education courses tend to be shorter, meet less frequently, and have more flexibility to accommodate busy schedules. The limit in time commitment and lower costs, enables many adults to explore new interests.
