University extension programs

University extension programs are educational initiatives offered by universities to provide learning opportunities beyond traditional degree pathways. These programs include workshops, courses, or certification programs that target the broader community, often focusing on professional development, personal enrichment, or specific skills. They cater to various audiences, including working professionals, lifelong learners, and local residents, enabling access to university resources and expertise. Extension programs may be delivered online or in-person, making education more accessible and flexible for those looking to expand their knowledge or advance their careers without committing to a full-time degree program.
