Continuing education (CE) classes are not for college credit and can vary widely in their duration, with a single CE class often requiring much less time than a college credit class.

The requirements for continuing education (CE) classes vary depending on which CE class you’re interested in taking. Each class in the CE section of this site will list the relevant prerequisites to enroll for that class.
