Non-degree opportunities and continuing education


computer blue Because traditional four-year degree programs do not sufficiently accommodate the educational needs of many adults, Belmont provides opportunities for community members to take professional development and continuing education courses through the Office of Continuing Education. Courses are available on a non-credit or continuing education unit (CEU) basis.

Our programs are developed through educational partnerships with individuals, businesses, and organizations to offer specialized courses that meet the needs of continuing education and non-degree students in the Belmont community.
