Welcome to the Office of Continuing and Professional Education (OCPE)
The Office of Continuing and Professional Education (OCPE) was formed in response to the needs of professional learners interested in research-based, high-caliber noncredit programs. In partnership with the faculty of the schools and colleges at the University of Connecticut, we offer noncredit short courses for professional development and personal interest, growth and engagement. Course delivery includes face-to-face, synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid courses. These include online short courses in business, performance art, social work, engineering, pharmacy, nursing, and education, to name a few. Also, working with UConn’s partner, FutureLearn, we deliver global Massive Open Online Courses available to anyone.
