Continuing Education
By BILL GORSKY
The Highacres campus of The
Pennsylvania State University,
besides facilitating excellent full
time courses of study, also
provides other opportunities in
education for those who cannot
devote themselves to the
daytime curriculum. These op
portunities are available through
the Continuing Education
Program and offer the same
benefits as the full-time
curriculum.
Last year 180,000 persons
took advantage of Continuing
education throughout the Penn.
State system. As of 1975, Penn.
State was ranked second only to
the University of California in
Continuing Education
enrollment. Of the 180,000 per
sons, 80,000 were teachers. This
reflects the fact that education
should not be stopped or deemed
unnecessary once a degree is ob
tained.
The main function of these
programs is to supply in
dividuals who are currently
engrossed with their occupations
an opportunity to enhance their
knowledge. This opportunity is
taken advantage of for the
educational enjoyment by those
who find it fun, challenging, and
rewarding. In the instance of the
career oriented individual it may
be found to be fun; however, it
may be considered a necessity
for an individual who is not so
devoted to his career. It is, in
deed, absolutely essential to be
constantly aware and updated
with the increasingly faster
societal and technological ad
vancements of the day. If these
needs are not met, the individual
may soon find himself in
competent relative to the up
dated one in the same field.
The length of time needed for
completion of a three credit
course is only ten weeks. There
are also Credit Workshops for
Teachers available. Credit cour
ses, however, recently have
shown a decline in enrollment as
opposed to non-credit courses
whose enrollment has risen.
Management, Real Estate,
Paralegal, and Insurance cour
ses, among others, are offered at
Highacres. These non-credit
courses vary in lengths of time

needed for completion and are
just as valuable as credit cour
ses.
Continuing Education can also
be taken advantage of by full
time students in order to meet
the needs of their curriculum.
Remember, these opportunities
are available to everyone and if
you don’t take advantage it’s
your loss.
