Everyone is a lifelong learner, in some way.  Indeed, according to The Christian Science Monitor, 92 million people in the United States take part in some type of formal continuing education.  These individuals may be mothers or grandfathers, white-collar professionals, or soldiers.  Some people are just wanting to learn how to paint a beautiful landscape, while others are enrolled in work-related training.  No matter who they are, lifelong learners have a great capacity to adapt, learn, and contribute at any age.

The Division of Continuing Studies at Angelo State University exists to assist you in your lifelong learning. Our goal is to connect you to professional development, personal enrichment, and workforce training opportunities.  Programs are offered to all residents of the Concho Valley as a way to help them explore new subject matter or hone some of their existing skills.
