ABOUT US

The Office of Continuing Education is Central Taiwan University of Science and Technology’s administrative unit for essentially delivering non-credit courses, but we also offer courses for college credit through our weekend college for non-traditional students seeking a degree. More specifically, our unit is designed to meet identifiable community needs in lifelong learning and professional development by providing educational opportunities for all qualifying individuals.

Our Office of Continuing Education has a long history of success that is consistent with the University’s overall strategic plan and our overall goals are:

• To offer degree programs through the weekend college program for students who have earned previous college credits.
• To offer a suite of high quality continuing education programs that provides certification and licensure in high demand fields.
• To be responsive to the needs of our community by offering enrichment and recreational programs that support principles of lifelong learning.

We continue to launch our weekend college programs every semester in response to the demand for access to college level classes by a growing number of students who already have a large number of college credits earned but, for one reason or another, are no longer in a position to attend college on a full-time basis. Many of whom have a strong desire and often also a need, to complete their degrees. Our program is committed to delivering courses specifically for these students to assist them with successfully earning their degrees.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

Our programs are largely a response to what we believe represents what you tell us you need to advance your career or just to get on in life. We therefore offer both regular college credit courses and courses that qualify for continuing education. Our new certificate programs will offer participants learning experiences that are targeted at ensuring that they bring about meaningful career advancement or opportunities for transitioning to new and exciting careers. Our continuing education offerings provide a vehicle for members of the communities we serve to pursue their lifelong learning goals through targeted programs, seminars, workshops, conferences and special events.
