We All Aspire to Be Life-Long Learners—How Can Universities Support Us?


Listen Later

Universities across the country are offering more and more classes outside of degree programs. These include job training programs for employers, continuing education credits required to keep certifications, and more creative classes that serve a personal interest. But why should universities be the place where we go to be life-long learners? And how do universities need to change to embrace this opportunity? In this interview with Terry Ratcliff, the Dean of Antioch’s School of Distance and Extended Education, we answer these questions and more.

The School of Distance and Extended Education that Terry has been talking about offers classes, certificates, and badges in lots of different areas, and you can visit its website at continuinged.antioch.edu. We’ll add that link in our shownotes.

We’ll also link there to where you can sign up for the Continuing Education newsletter, which is the best way to keep up with their latest offerings.
