What these courses do offer are professional education units/hours recognized by many professional trade organizations. And while your course achievements will stand out on your LinkedIn profile and resume, we also offer printable certificates that look great on the wall.

As non-credit professional training, all PaCE courses are offered exclusively through Stetson University in collaboration with instructional program partners.

No, these open access courses are completely self-paced allowing students the flexibility to log into the course material (24/7) based upon the schedule by which they wish to study.

Other courses may be delivered in a hybrid synchronous manner and as such may have set times for class discussions and learning modules.

Typically, there are no textbooks associated with professional education courses and therefore students do not incur any additional expense for participation in these courses. In the rare instance where books or materials are required, they will be included in the program costs and distributed to the students.

All of our open access online courses are delivered by our partner MindEdge. Founded by Harvard and MIT educators in 1998, they have served some two million learners and received very favorable reviews by students.

Some of our more hybrid workshop- style sessions are led by a combination of Stetson faculty and adjuncts, and other subject matter experts that partner with the school and bring relevant experiences and knowledge. In these instances, most course pages provide brief bios on these instructors.
