From pursuing degrees and certificates for career advancement to meeting a profession’s continuing education requirements to attending liberal arts courses to fulfill one’s love of knowledge, learning is a life-long endeavor.  

Continuing education at NYU links directly to the principles of NYU’s founding, with its emphasis on providing a "rational and practical education fitting for all and graciously open to all."
