Areas of Study
These areas of study represent focal points where the values of a liberal arts education express themselves in professional advancement and career enrichment activities. Our focus in developing our professional education programs is to align traditional educational training in the liberal arts — including critical thinking, entrepreneurial leadership, problem solving and communication — with the professional skills of the workplace.
From these areas of study we’ve collected test preparation coursework as well as coursework specifically designed for secondary school students. And in partnership with trusted online education provides, we offer an extensive catalog of online courses as well.
Programming Levels
In each area of focus, we’ve selected online and face-to-face classes and programs at exploration, skills building and professional levels. We use this framework to guide our ongoing program development in line with the needs of Richmond’s working professionals.
