Who We Are
and What We Do

Lifelong Learning at
St. Michael’s

The Continuing Education Division, established in 1986, collaborates with community partners and the University of St. Michael’s College to offer lifelong learning opportunities for personal and professional enrichment.

By developing a broad range of general interest programs in the liberal arts as well as Certificate programs in Youth Ministry Studies, Catechesis for children, Catholic Leadership, Service Provision to the Homeless and Corporate Social Responsibility, the Division has expanded considerably over the past twenty years to meet the needs and interests of a broad community.

Each year Continuing Education offers more than 75 short courses (typically 6 weeks long), Saturday workshops and monthly discussion seminars on a broad range of topics that include philosophy, theology, spirituality, history, fine art, music, literature and film.
