Mission

With learners as our focus, the mission of the School of Graduate & Continuing Studies is to facilitate and provide educational outreach opportunities to our community and the diverse learner groups of Southern Utah University. Our professional focus includes academic excellence, experiential engagement of learners, and technology.

The School of Graduate and Continuing Studies facilitates and advocates for traditional and nontraditional educational opportunities for all types of students. It works closely with the University’s academic departments and colleges. Options for lifelong learning are presented year round. Continuing Studies programs meet the needs of nontraditional students through convenient course scheduling, curricular flexibility, innovative teaching, cutting edge technology, and university courses in high schools.

The School recognizes that most of its students/clients have work, family, and other personal and professional responsibilities which limit their participation in traditional college activities; therefore, convenience is a major factor in the design of Continuing & Professional Studies programs and advocacy.
