For CSU Staff and Faculty

Welcome, Fellow Vikings!

CSU staff and full-time faculty have access to continuing and professional education opportunities through the Division of Lifelong Learning and Workforce Development, with eligible noncredit certificates and industry-recognized certification programs available through the University’s tuition remission benefit. 

Whether you are looking to strengthen skills for your current role, prepare for new responsibilities, earn a professional credential, or explore an emerging area of practice, these programs offer CSU employees a practical way to continue learning and investing in their own professional development as members of the Viking community.
