Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Data provided by University Without Walls division (our Continuing Education unit).
Continuing education courses offered are taken by those pursuing a certificate or for personal enrichment, although our systems do not allow for easy identification of the motivation of the student for signing up for the course. Courses offered through continuing education are not double counted in AC-1 (Academic Courses) as it is possible to identify those courses offered strictly to our own students through traditional campus systems.
