Continuous improvement

Creativity

Lifelong learning

In fulfillment of our mission, we develop and implement over 120 educational programs serving over 5,000 constituents each year.  We also provide services to support educational conferences and will help plan and implement an entire conference or provide services that our clients select to match their needs.  In all cases, our conferences services division is capable of providing pre-program, program day, and post program assistance.  

Our instructors.  Our programs are led not only by subject matter experts from the faculty and staff of Bradley University but also by industry experts.

Our facilities include the resources of Bradley University such as classrooms, dining services, audio visual support, and residence halls.  When our programs are delivered away from campus, we work with hotels and conference centers to secure the facilities and services required by the program. 

Our staff consists of an executive director, an assistant director, a program director, a marketing director, administrative support staff, and student workers.   Continuing Education also works closely with the staff of the Executive Development Center in the Foster College of Business Administration.

Our organizational structure at Bradley.  Continuing Education is a self-supporting academic unit reporting to the Provost and Vice-President for Academic Affairs.  This organizational structure ensures that our work remains closely linked to the strategic imperatives of the University.   

How we work with Bradley University departments.  Continuing Education provides centralized support to Bradley faculty and staff who wish to offer workshops, seminars, and conferences.  In this way, the University is assured that programs are consistent with Bradley’s mission, that University resources are appropriately utilized and accounted for, and that service is uniform and cost-effective.
