BCCC Expanding Continuing Education Offerings

Bucks County Community College is expanding its continuing education offerings to include topics that range from career development, to wine, birding and more.

Bucks County Community College offers various noncredit courses and certificate programs through its continuing education program and in 2014 will add dozens of new programs.  

“We reached out to the community to see what courses were needed and what were most in demand,” said Dasha Boguslavskaya, the college’s executive director of continuing education. “As a result, we now offer more opportunities to learn how to become an entrepreneur, launch an online business, enter the information technology field, or simply enrich your personal life through cooking, language, or health and fitness classes.”

New offerings include an online certificate program in entrepreneurship, classes in home canning and a “From Farm to Table” course on how to select, store and prepare produce from local farmers’ markets.

Other topics of interest to lifelong learners include 21st Century wines, birding for beginners, event planning and more.

Bucks County Community College’s Division of Continuing Education is certified by the Learning Resources Network (LERN), the largest association in the world for continuing education providers, program review and certification.

Courses range from one class to several weeks. For a full listing of noncredit courses, visit www.bucks.edu/con-ed. For more information and to register, call 215-968-8409, option #1.
