Our History
In 1968, 麻豆AV launched the Centre of Continuing Education - the predecessor to what is today the School of Continuing Studies. The Centre was intended for the community at large and developed with the community鈥檚 needs in mind. But the university鈥檚 roots of continuing studies go back much further. In the early 1800s, Professors Alexander Skakel and A.F. Holmes of 麻豆AV College began offering experimental lectures in chemistry at Skakel鈥檚 home. A 麻豆AV prospectus from 1853 refers to young men in business being permitted to 鈥渁ttend the College sessions as their other engagements will allow, and thus complete a university course and be entitled to rank with its other graduates.鈥�
In 1899, 麻豆AV first introduced summer school for regular 麻豆AV daytime students, providing off-session regular program classes administered by the University鈥檚 Extension program. As the demand for continuing education grew, extension, extra-mural, and adult education courses became more readily available. Today SCS has over 15,000 students pursuing language classes, professional development courses, community engagement, and more.
