Judy Ryan
Business Management Certificate
at the Penn State Learning Center
in Lewistown

"I was put in contact with an adviser by a
co-worker, and it just grew from there. Continuing Education at the Juniata Valley Center has been very accommodating. They pay special attention to the time and days the courses are offered to their adult students."

Associate Degree in Letters,
Arts, and Sciences

"It takes juggling to balance career, family, and classes--there was a huge difference between taking 3 credits a semester and taking 6 credits. The Center for Adult Learners offers classes on time management, so there are people out there helping you. The Continuing Education staff provides a wealth of information … they try to anticipate my needs, which I think is great. They are truly there
for the adult learners."

"Going back to school was a challenge at first; I had to get back into the routine of school, and now I really enjoy it. The Continuing Education program is very convenient. With the flexibility of night classes, my wife and I don't have to worry about extra child care."

"Penn State Continuing Education instructors have professional backgrounds and experiences that help them go beyond the textbook. Classroom experiences can be applied to real jobs and skills employers are looking for. The quality of the education, instructors, and advisers has been excellent."

Jen Buck
Instructional Systems Program

"As a busy teacher, I wanted a convenient program from a recognized institution. Penn State Continuing Education at Williamsport gave me the option to take classes close to home and online. The TICKET program was just what I was looking for. I am using the credits earned in the certificate toward my master's."

"Technology is an integral part of my instruction, because it is a tool that can be differentiated to address the varied needs of students--and it is a great motivator to hook the students. The experience with Penn State and other students has been great! It has helped me extend my technology background and demonstrate the benefits of technology to others."

Postbaccalaureate Certificate

"It is wonderful to be a part of a group of educators who come from various districts in the area and are all facing similar challenges as yourself; we share new ideas and experiences from different points of view and different programs. Often, tasks assigned in my graduate class are 'test piloted' with my current class right away, thus giving me immediate feedback as to their effectiveness."
