<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Designed to address core competencies and emerging needs of the sector, our courses are geared towards professionals, volunteers and board members in museums, art galleries, cultural institutions and organizations, heritage sites and related organizations. Courses are taught by recognized leading professionals, and can be taken individually for credit or non-credit or towards a comprehensive diploma or focused professional specialization certificate.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">Immersion classes give participants the valuable opportunity to interact with other heritage professionals in a concentrated learning and networking environment. Because these full-credit courses take place over a short period of 6 days rather than a full-semester, they offer cultural organization professionals from around the world a way to upgrade skills, ask questions, and meet others in their field that they might not otherwise conveniently have.</FONT></P>
