What is Community Education?

The Community Education Department runs non-credit courses, that are offered in the day, evening, on weekends, and online, to accommodate our student’s busy schedules. These include job training, recreational, and educational courses.

What are Non-credit Courses?

The courses do not grant credit toward an academic degree; however many fulfill continuing education requirements in the workplace. Students choose any class of interest. Usually, the time spent during a course is stress free - and is of personal satisfaction, whether related to personal or work-related goals.

What types of courses are offered through Community Education?

The range of courses offered each semester changes and expands regularly. For example, courses are offered in the arts, workplace training, business, computers, finance, education, fitness, hobbies, crafts, personal development, language, travel, sports, recreation and dance.

Who Takes these Courses?

Anyone - you, your family, friends or business colleagues. There are no age restrictions or general requirements for most courses.

What is the Time Commitment?

Most courses are short-term or in a series. They start at various times throughout the semester to accommodate even the busiest schedule.

What is the Cost?

Prices are very affordable depending on the length and content of the course.

Where are they Offered?

Courses are offered at one or all of our campuses in Brockton, Canton and Middleborough. Occasionally a course will require off-site classes at an appropriate venue such as a marina, furniture store, or function hall.
