KSU Community and Professional Education

"The EKG training didn’t exceed my expectations at all! They overload you with too much information in such a short timeframe. This class need to be renamed Monitor Technician because you spend more time reading and being read the material vs focusing on lab. The instructors were nice. All they did was read PowerPoint’s & the book, you ask a question, they can’t answer right away. Plus we were told majority of the material we read during class we won’t even need for our career path. It was a waste of time, my money & and I do not feel prepared to take the exam. No quiz nor exam should be timed for the amount of info we had to learn in such a short time frame. Ridiculous!"

"I enrolled in the Paralegal Certificate program in August of 2017. I was nervous about going back to school since it was a new field for me, and I was working full time. Enrolling in the program was a great decision. The facility and staff are awesome, and the program is very flexible for working adults. I received my certificate in December of 2018. Also, by taking advantage of their email portal which connects students with internships and job opportunities, I landed a job at a Real Estate Law Firm just 2 weeks after graduation. In addition to Paralegal studies, CCPE offers many certificate programs that are flexible and cost efficient."

"I completed the Paralegal Certificate Program in December 2017. I originally earned my B.A. as a traditional college student, spent a number of years working, then took off more than a decade to raise my children. With both kids well on their way to adulthood, I went back to school last year and enrolled in the program at KSU. Going back to school was a huge challenge, but I enjoyed every minute of it! In addition to learning so many useful skills in the legal world, the program did an awesome job of continually connecting students with internship and job opportunities. I took advantage of this networking and landed a job as a Paralegal for a Criminal Defense Attorney in Marietta. Great way to launch the next chapter in my life! My full-time salary resulted in a 100% ROI of my KSU tuition within the first couple of months. Worth every cent invested."

"My Social Media Marketing class with the amazing Tyra Burton was excellent. I learned about social analytics, guidelines, content creation apps and more. I also enjoyed the Italian class I took to prepare for my trip to Italy. Antonella, who hails from Rome, made it fun. Piacere di conoscerla!"

"I just can't say enough about the quality educational opportunities available at the College of Continuing and Professional Education! I enrolled in their Social Media Marketing course in 2016 to increase my marketing skills. As a mom with a busy family, I wondered if I really had the time to go back to school. On the first night of class, I realized that I had made the right decision. From then on, I looked forward to attending every class! The content was very relevant and the instructor is definitely a social media expert. The certificate I earned and the skills I gained from the course have been invaluable. I saw an immediate increase in the interest employers had in my resume, and after several interviews, I accepted a position. Today I am working in a job I love and also help several nonprofits build their social presence. In today's job market, we all need to continuously learn new skills if we want to keep up with changing industries. The College of Continuing and Professional Education will always be my go to resource when it's time to increase my professional skills!"
