Dear Prospective and Continuing Eastern Students,

Welcome to the School of Continuing Education. Whether you are looking for something specific or simply browsing our web site, please notice that we have taken steps to help you meet our staff. By using new flash technology we can now personally convey our informative messages to you. This initiative is typical of how we are approaching our educational offerings. We have taken a good look at how adults want to learn and have blended the leading technology and expert on-site instruction with a personal touch.

We are experts at delivering educational plans specifically designed for you. If you have always wanted to finish your bachelor’s degree, we can help you “see yourself succeed.” If you have attended college in the near or distant past but never finished, we are the right place for you. If your goal is to get a quality education that fits into your busy lifestyle, we have that covered.

Adult students we have served express it best, “I chose Eastern because I got credit for what I learned at work. Because my job was related to Eastern’s curriculum, I was able to earn more than a quarter of my degree requirements through Eastern’s Credit for Lifelong Learning Program.” Another adult student who is in the military said, “I chose Eastern because it made it possible to finish my degree in two years. We’ve been stationed here for the last two years. I had credits from several colleges across the county. I’ll always remember Groton fondly because not only was I able to finally finish my degree at Eastern, but so was my wife. Thanks Eastern for making it possible to complete my Bachelor’s degree while serving my country.”

By seeing yourself succeed you can realize an important step in moving up the career ladder. A Bachelor’s degree increases your chances for promotion and significantly improves your salary potential. Sometimes we need that degree to just catch up with our experience. Sometimes we need the degree to move up the career ladder. Sometimes a certificate through our noncredit on-line courses will be the ticket.

Browse through our web site. Look at our new Fast Track options including our Saturday Human Services Administration Fast Track. Take a look at the more than 40 career building online non-credit certificate options we offer to help you move up the career ladder or earn more.

You CAN finish your degree. You CAN earn more. Let us show you why you should choose Eastern. “See yourself succeed!”

Sincerely,

Shelly Gimenez, Ph.D
Dean of the School of Continuing Education
