About Continuing Education and Professional Studies

The mission of the Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies is to provide quality, innovative lifelong learning opportunities to a diverse student population by extending the educational resources of the University of Colorado at Boulder.

The University of Colorado at Boulder established the Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies in 1911 to extend the resources of the University in nontraditional ways. Since learning needs are unique and don’t always follow the traditional college student path, Continuing Education offers a variety of programs—from courses for university credit, to personal enrichment classes to career-boosting computer, technology, and business classes.
