Although anyone can audit a course without pursuing a formal degree, the only distinct continuing education courses are offered through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI).

The year of inception of each certificate varies; the Global Environmental Politics certificate was created in 2009 and is reported under "year the certificate program was created" space.
