The Office of Lifelong Learning at Texas
Woman's University provides quality, innovative lifelong
learning opportunities to a diverse student population by
extending the educational resources of Texas Woman's University.
TWU Lifelong Learning is based on a model that is successful at
many universities. Often called Extended Education or Continuing
Studies, universities organize this function to accommodate the
many unique opportunities that exist, but which fit neither the
mission nor the expertise of traditional academic units.
Lifelong Learning at TWU is a support unit in the context of the
university goals. We organize around three basic areas of
activity:
-
Distance Education - Provide leadership for
Distance Education policy and planning. Aid in developing,
implementing, and evaluating Distance Education
courses/programs, support services, and technology.
Coordinate necessary academic support services for Distance Education initiatives. Encourage and develop
administrative structures, policies and reward systems that
facilitate a rapid response to the needs of students and
ensure that Distance Education students receive an
appropriate level of services.
-
Continuing Education - Continuing
education helps meet educational goals that serve both the
community and professionals. Texas Woman’s University is
committed to meeting the need for ongoing professional
development in fields relating to academic credit programs
by expanding our offerings in continuing education in a
manner which will enhance TWU’s general visibility, as well
as attract students to our credit programs. Lifelong
Learning assists faculty, staff, and off-campus users of the
University facilities in continuing education program
planning and administration, information services,
continuing education (CEU) procedures, non-academic programs
of external groups and the identification of new program
areas. Lifelong Learning non-credit activities are
self-supporting auxiliary enterprises of the University.
-
Non-traditional programs - academic
partnerships on special projects with various funding
strategies, especially evening and weekend or off-campus
opportunities.
