Longwood offers continuing education courses for those who are full-time students and need prerequisites for their intended graduate program or those who are working and wish to take classes part time to enhance their professional knowledge. The program offers both credit and non-credit classes in a variety of formats including online, hybrid, and face-to-face.
Some classes offered for credit include the prerequisites for the speech-language pathology program, the driver education endorsement, professional development for educators, the educational leadership professional endorsement, and much more. For many professionals, the non-credit classes fulfill requirements for recertification points, professional development credits, or continuing education units.
The Lancer Learning Community hones in on the talents of Prince Edward County residents, Longwood faculty, staff and students, and Farmville merchants, to teach classes for anyone interested in the variety of topics offered. Some sessions include, financial planning, American Sign Language, painting with a local artist, essential oils, and going green! (All sessions are only $10)
There are also "adventures" that go beyond a single session, these include kayak trips, an indigenous species hike on Highbridge, how to pair food and beer at the Fishin’ Pig, and more! (Cost varies for each adventure).
