Long Island University's School of Continuing
Studies Offers On-line Courses
April 21, 2000 - Students interested in taking a college continuing
education course without leaving the comfort of home can take
advantage of a bevy of new on-line courses offered by the School
of Continuing Studies at Long Island University.
There are more than 90 non-credit continuing education on-line
courses offered in a variety of subjects, including the Internet,
computers and small business management, legal studies, conflict
resolution and personal enrichment, and Teaching English as a
Second Language. As in traditional classroom-style courses, on-line
students also have direct access to professors and can interact
with other students within the course and curriculum. Feedback
and communication are greatly encouraged in this cyber classroom.
"Long Island University is making education more accessible,
offering people the opportunity to continue to grow personally
and professionally in a completely flexible environment,"
said Dr. Nishan Najarian, Dean of Long Island University's School
of Continuing Studies. "According to the feedback we have
already received from our students and professors, we will increase
our course offerings as the program becomes more established."
Most courses run for six weeks and consist of 12 lessons,
two each week which can be accessed at anytime. A new course
section is usually offered every month. Students can choose from
courses offered through Long Island University's C.W. Post Campus
in Brookville or the Brooklyn Campus. They should complete assignments
and homework within the period the courses run and take an additional
two weeks to complete the final exam. In most cases, a certificate
of completion will be awarded. Courses start at $59 and textbooks,
unless specified, are not required.
For additional information or to register for courses, contact

The C.W. Post Campus is located on Northern Boulevard (Route
