West
Windsor, N.J. - The Center for Continuing Studies at Mercer
County Community College has announced an array of fall courses
designed to give adults a convenient, concentrated route to
enhanced skills and new careers. Among the career programs are
business management, computer technology, health care, education,
and green building. Classes for personal interest range from
cooking and fitness to writing, languages, personal finance
and more.
Taught by experts in their fields, many of the career courses
are offered as certificate series, but also can be taken on
an individual basis. Most classes meet in the evening and on
weekends on the college's West
Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
A "Back to School Night for Adults" information
session will be held on Thursday, Aug. 19 starting at 6 p.m.
at the MCCC Conference Center. Staff and instructors will be
on hand to describe programs, answer questions, and offer career
advice. Attendees will receive a 10% discount coupon off tuition
for a fall course. (No reservation is required for this session.)
