The University of Texas at Austin Continuing & Innovative Education

Formed in 1909, Continuing Education seeks to extend the resources of The University of Texas at Austin whether you are on campus or beyond. To meet this goal, the division offers a dynamic range of courses, services and programs to those seeking educational and enrichment opportunities.

For example, our Web-based and online courses connect students of all ages to the university's vast intellectual capital. Full and part-time students enrolled in the university tap into our evening college credit program, as do students in the greater Austin community who are not enrolled in the university. Working professionals sharpen their career skills in our professional development seminars, workshops and certificate programs.

We provide young learners, from Kindergarten through high school, with quality online courses, programs and services. Retired adults benefit from both the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) program. Everyone can enjoy Odyssey enrichment program's stimulating open-enrollment lectures by active university scholars. We also provide energy industry training to oilfield workers, accountants and attorneys.

In short, our programs and courses open the university to all, with open enrollment, credit and noncredit classes for professional, academic, and personal advancement, in the classroom or online.
