PCC Noncredit Programs now Continuing Education

September 2, 2009

Tucson, AZ – Pima Community College’s noncredit programs have a new name. Previously called Activities, noncredit programs are now Continuing Education. 

The current schedule of Continuing Education courses and certificates can be found online at www.pima.edu/continuinged.

“The name Continuing Education better reflects our mission to provide flexible personal and career development options to the citizens of Pima County,” explains Dr. Terry Sawma, Vice President of Instruction at PCC.

In addition to the traditional personal enrichment (formerly personal interest) courses, the College has expanded noncredit career and professional development offerings to include courses and certificates in areas such as Strategic Project Management, Finance and Microsoft Office.

“The addition of Continuing Education career and professional development courses and certificates offers the opportunity to improve workforce skills, develop new occupational skills and meets the continuing education requirements for many occupational disciplines,” says Sawma.

For information about the new Continuing Education offerings, visit www.pima.edu/continuinged or call (520) 206-4500.
