It is my pleasure to welcome you to the web site for the Continuing Education Division of the WellStar Health and Human Services at Kennesaw State University. Learning is a life long process and continuing education is an integral part of professional development, especially in the rapidly changing health care professions. While our graduate and undergraduate programs lead to formal academic degrees, our Career Development and Career Redirection Courses
provide diverse stimulating learning activities intended for the life long learner. Whether you are interested in developing your knowledge in a specialty area or simply renewing your previous knowledge in order to return to practice, we have courses that should interest you.
Opportunities
Kennesaw State University is proud of the longstanding collaboration with local agencies within the health care system. Ideas for adding new programs are encouraged and invited from the health care community. Together, through education and practice, the challenges of health care can be addressed. Currently the center offers a variety of educational opportunities for health care professionals to encourage career development and or/career redirection. Academic support for these programs draws on the expertise of the university faculty as well as expert practitioners from the local health care systems. The courses in the greatest demand are those reflecting critical staffing needs in the health care system.
