Collaboration, Competition or Convergence? The Relationship between Professional and Continuing Education and Traditional Academic Programs
Kilgore, Wendy
American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO)
There are increasing opportunities for professional and continuing education, and traditional academic programs to work together to enhance learning mobility, improve college access for undergraduate-adult learners and support institution-wide learner success. However, to embrace those opportunities and for this to occur, the degree to which professional and continuing education, and traditional academic programs currently operate in collaboration or competition for students and/or institutional resources should be understood. As such, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) and the University Professional and Continuing Education Association (UPCEA) partnered on a survey of their respective undergraduate-serving institutional members in the United States. Data from this first-look 2023 benchmark survey describes a number of issues, challenges and opportunities that professional and continuing education (PCE) units face with academic registrars and others in central administration. Some framing questions for the survey included the following: (1) Does the institution have an administrative unit responsible for PCE?; (2) What type of alternative credentials are offered, and who is offering them?; and (3) What type of special-population programs are offered, and who offers them?
