Who can take community education classes?

Community education classes are designed to provide learning opportunities for people of all ages, backgrounds, and education levels. Unlike traditional college courses, these classes are non-credit, meaning they don't count towards a degree, but they do offer valuable skills, knowledge, and personal enrichment.

Flexible Scheduling:
