Is it possible to enroll in Continuing and College Education courses prior to admission
to the program?
Currently, students are not allowed to take courses prior to
admissions to the program.
Can courses be transferred into the program?
With permission of the faculty advisor and the
Graduate School, students may transfer up to 9 post-baccalaureate
quarter credits if the courses are appropriate to the plan of study. See the Graduate School section of the WWU catalog for details
on credit transfer requirements.
What if I don't meet the minimum 3.0 GPA requirement for admissions?
The
Graduate School sets limits on the
number of provisional admissions that can be granted to students who
do not meet the minimum GPA requirement. It is recommended that you talk with a faculty advisor if you
might be in the provisional admission category.
Can I begin the program any quarter?
The Continuing and College Education program admits students for
all four quarters of the year, so students may begin their study any
quarter.
Can I complete the Continuing and College Education degree courses on-line?
The Continuing and College Education program is not designed as a
distance education program, though several required courses
are available through multi-mode (combination of web-based learning,
face-to-face class meetings, print and media resources).
In addition, several of the elective courses are available as distance
education courses.
Is there a sequence in which I should take
courses?
Students can take courses in any order. Because some
elective courses are offered only every two years, students interested
in these courses are encouraged to take them when they are scheduled.
There is no expectation that students take required courses prior to
elective courses. EDU 501 - Introduction to Educational Research,
should be taken in one's first year in the program.
Who teaches the courses?
Courses are taught by full-time faculty and by adjunct faculty with particular areas
of expertise. All faculty have doctorates in the field, and draw upon
many years of experience as adult educators and college faculty.
When are courses offered?
The program is designed with working adults in
mind, so courses are offered evenings, and/or by distance
education.
How much is tuition?
For graduate tuition, refer to the Graduate School website at:
http://www.wwu.edu/depts/gradschool/funding/tuition_and_fees.shtml.
Are there scholarships or assistantships?
A graduate
assistantship for the CCE Program is available each academic year
(fall-spring quarters). To apply, fill out and submit the
assistantship application form available from the Graduate School
website at:
http://www.wwu.edu/depts/gradschool/forms/index.shtml. The Office of
Student Financial Resources has information regarding
scholarships.
How long does it take to complete the program?
Because students can self-pace through the program,
rates of completion vary from one to five years. The average length of
completion is two years, taking an average of six credits per quarter
for eight quarters.
