Friday, January 30, 1998
FORT COLLINS--Individuals who can't get to Colorado State
University for classes during the day but who want to pursue a
degree or enrich their personal or professional lives have access
to a wide range of courses through the university's Division of
Continuing and Distance Education.
Spring semester credit, noncredit and distance courses are
still open for enrollment. The deadline to register for evening
credit courses is Feb. 7, while noncredit professional and
personal enrichment courses have a registration deadline up to
the second class meeting, which varies by course. Registration
for distance education courses can take place any time.
"Many people may be unaware that Colorado State offers so
many different courses at night and through various delivery
methods," said John Ebersole, associate provost for continuing
and distance education. "Our spring semester course offerings can
fit virtually any lifestyle, whether it be for current students
or working professionals."
Colorado State offers nearly 200 noncredit, evening credit
and distance education courses each semester.
Credit courses run the gamut from creative writing to
economics. Evening credit courses are ideal for current students
who want to obtain additional credits or for working
professionals who don't have time during the workday to pursue a
degree. Noncredit courses fall into the categories of
professional development and personal enrichment and include
certification programs, computer courses, creative writing,
genealogy and many other subjects.
Distance education degree programs are available via
correspondence, telecourse and video/audio presentations and
cover such topics as sociology, animal sciences, economics and
human development. Entire graduate degree programs are available
in business, human resource development, computer science,
statistics and several areas of engineering. These programs
feature video and online instruction with university faculty.
In addition, Colorado State's Denver Center offers numerous
opportunities for Denver-based master's degree programs and
noncredit certification courses for a variety of computer
programs. The center's computer facility recently was designated
an authorized Microsoft training site.
Course listings for spring semester are availableby calling
the Office of Continuing Education toll-free at 1-800-525-4950 or

Prospective students may register one of four ways: by fax,

at Spruce Hall on College Avenue and Laurel Street on campus.
