Consider Continuing Education

Whether you're a lifelong learner or you want to develop the skills and knowledge that can help you become more successful in your career, University of Phoenix can help. We offer a range of Individual, Professional Development and Test-preparation courses as well as Certificate programs.

Choose from:

• Individual courses that cover everything from business and finance to nursing and health administration. These courses are credit bearing and typically come from one of our degree programs.
• General Education courses that may be transferable** to your degree program — to help you graduate on time.
• Courses for educators that can help you meet potential endorsement, recertification or professional development requirements.
• Test-preparation courses that ready you for industry-recognized exams for human resource managers, project management professionals and prospective teachers in certain states.
• Non-credit Professional Development courses that can help you become a better manager and give you an extra edge at work.
• Certificate programs that provide a deeper exploration of areas such as human resources, project management, accounting and technology. These are credit-bearing collections of courses.

Every one of our hundreds of undergraduate and graduate courses provides you with the real-world experience of our faculty, small class sizes and curriculum that’s state-of-the-art.

*Each state sets forth standards required to be eligible to take the CPA exam and apply for licensure or certification as a CPA. While this program was designed with consideration for the standards proposed by the National Association of State Boards of Accounting (NASBA), University of Phoenix cannot, and will not, provide any assurance that completion of individual courses or the certificate program will allow a successful student to qualify within the student's specific jurisdiction. Potential applicants should check with the appropriate organization within their jurisdiction to determine if our courses or programs, combined with their undergraduate degree and any other specific criteria, meets the requirements to qualify for examination in that specific jurisdiction. States frequently change their requirements for examination. There is no assurance that at the time of degree completion the specific jurisdiction's requirements will be consistent with the requirements at the time of admission.
