A Message erom the Dean
As you may have noticed, the Division of Continuing Education at UMass Boston
has changed its name to the Division of Corporate, Continuing, and Distance
Education. This name change marks an important expansion of our role: it signals
our new commitment to serving many more Greater
Boston working professionals and to using distance
learning technologies whenever possible. We are
committed to becoming an indispensable resource for
the continued economic development of the
Commonwealth.
This outreach agenda will result in many new credit
courses, certificates, and non-credit training opportunities
which respond more directly to workforce development
needs. These curriculum innovations will result from
increasing industry involvement, improving faculty devel-
opment, upgrading equipment, employing distance
technologies, and partnering with other UMass campuses
and other universities.
This bulletin introduces some of our new outreach
initiatives: courses televised to Martha's Vineyard and
Nantucket, computer courses at a new downtown
Boston location, IT certification courses on the Boston campus, health care
courses at the UMass 1-495 Center for Professional Education in Westborough,
bachelor's degree completion courses in nursing at Cape Cod Community
College, manufacturing courses offered in conjunction with the Greater Boston
Manufacturing Partnership, and many more.
UMass Boston will become the Commonwealth's indispensable university because
we will grow in our capacity to serve the economy, the community, employers,
and most importantly, you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dirk Messelaar
Dean, Corporate, Continuing, and Distance Education
