The College of Lifelong Learning was established by the
Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher
Learning in November 2002.Comprised of three (3) primary units: (1)
the School of General and Continuing Studies; (2) the Center for
Adult and Continuing Education; and (3) the Continuing Education
Learning Center, the College is designed to meet the needs of
the present day workforce and other adult learners, 25 years of
age and older, across the state, region, and nation. The College
is a portal of entry into
Jackson State University for adult learners who wish to begin, continue,
complete, or enhance their development on a part-time or full-time
basis.
The College of Lifelong Learning is physically located within the academic community called E. E. Thrash Universities Center, 3825 Ridgewood Road in Jackson, Mississippi. This
site serves as a metropolitan learning center for state, local,
public, and private agencies, as well as, an undergraduate student
classroom facility during the day, but becomes a graduate student
classroom facility during the evening.
The College of Lifelong Learning has distinguished itself with an outstanding staff that is dedicated
to providing quality education to adults so they may achieve the
highest possible level of excellence. As we advance in this millennium, Jackson State
University is redefining Lifelong Learning by developing
cutting edge programs and seminars of interest to the community.
The ultimate goal is to bring together the resources of the university,
public and private schools, industry, government, and community
to jointly address problems affecting the quality of life. |
