KSU - College of Professional Education | 

From earlier spring 2020, we changed our name from the College of Graduate and Professional to the College of Professional Education. The revision is small but meaningful. To be certain, we remain committed to our community-based initiatives, including our excellent summer camps, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute programs, and life-enrichment activities. Now, we’re doing, even more, to help professionals succeed in their chosen fields.

The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) has awarded KSU’s College of Professional Education the industry-recognized Accredited Provider status. CPE complies with the ANSI/IACET Standard, which is recognized internationally as a standard of excellence in instructional practices. IACET Accredited Providers are the only organizations accredited to issue the IACET Continuing Education Unit (CEU). This accreditation includes our current and future classroom-based certificate programs.
