Community Education at the Virginia Beach Higher Education Center provides non-traditional students a diverse selection of opportunities for personal enrichment, to increase knowledge in a variety of subjects, and to increase or obtain new career skills.
Professional Education at the Virginia Beach Higher Education Center provides a collaborative process through which individuals and organizations optimize their capabilities to be productive and competitive in order to produce products or provide services. All "Lifelong Learning" courses are designed for the working adult, with classes held during evenings and weekends.
Our Mission in part is…to provide outreach educational services to the community
Participants are typically non-traditional students (working adults & parents); there are no general standard admission or minimum educational level requirements.
Most courses are offered during evenings and weekends to accommodate participants.
Training programs are delivered in alternative structures and instructional formats.
Continuing Education Units (CEU's) and/or a certificate of completion from NSU or other professional association may be awarded for participation.
CEU’s document continued learning, give incentive for advanced training, and show affiliation with an accredited institute of higher learning.
