Continuing Education and Conferences
The divinity school's Continuing Education programs offer opportunities for high quality, purposeful, enjoyable and innovative lifelong learning. Participants may seek personal or professional enrichment. They may also earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). One CEU is granted for each 10 hours of participation in a qualifying Continuing Education program. CEUs are billed separately from any Continuing Education course tuition or event cost. The rate is $20 per whole CEU and $10 per half CEU.
At the heart of the Continuing Education program are long-established lectureships associated with the divinity school's multiple histories, including the Stuber, the J.C. Wynn, the Ayer, the Martin Luther King Jr., the Bartlett Preaching Conference, the Howard Thurman Conference, the Mordecai Wyatt Johnson Institute, and the Helen Barrett Montgomery Conference. These lectureships offer opportunities for students and persons from the Rochester area and across the nation to engage speakers who are at the forefront of contemporary theological and biblical scholarship.
The divinity school's Calendar of Events is published semiannually and is available throughout the year. The calendar includes information about lectureships and other learning opportunities sponsored by the Continuing Education program, the Black Church Studies program, the Program for the Study of Women and Gender in Church and Society, and other curricular areas. Most lectures are free and open to the public, although courses and some seminars require tuition or a registration fee.
Partnership with the local churches for ministry education includes offering some continuing education events in Rochester area churches. Increasing attention to clusters of alumni and friends in various geographical regions as well as to distance learning opportunities, seek to make off-campus events more available to a wider audience. Educational technologies are being explored to enhance Continuing Education programs.
