PROFESSIONAL STUDIES

 
 

Professional Studies

The Professional Studies courses are for non-degree seeking students who are interested in enrolling in courses of personal or professional interest, without the need to satisfy associate degree or certificate program requirements.

It’s a unique opportunity to take any available course of interest alongside degree-seeking students.

In addition to credit-bearing courses, Urban College also offers periodic professional development opportunities.

Some sample course subjects students can choose from are:

  • Computer Information Systems

  • Communication

  • Early Childhood Education

  • English and more!


 
Urban College is not just an institution; Urban College is a family, a home, a place where you feel loved, and a place that makes you feel like you belong.
