We
are pleased to provide you with these web pages which summarize the role
of Southern Utah University School of Continuing and Professional Studies. Our
staff is committed to extending the University to serve both the campus
community and the surrounding region.
I would draw your attention to our mission statement
below. This statement details our role, as part of Southern Utah
University, in serving students away from the campus, and addressing the
needs of the campus community for courses and programs during the summer
and evening. The School also serves as a catalyst to help the University
explore and implement new programs and opportunities.
It has become increasingly evident that the role of
universities is changing, requiring us to be more attentive to the needs
and desires of students who are not able to attend school during the traditional
daytime academic year. While SUU is, and will continue to be, primarily
a traditional residential institution, we also recognize the importance
of meeting these nontraditional needs.
