e-courses offered

The University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies (formerly known as the Division of Continuing Education) has launched eight online courses this spring. The self-paced courses -- in procurement and contracts management, technology leadership and human resources management -- are offered exclusively on the Internet. Registration is open through March 13 and can be completed online at http://uvaceonline.org.

The courses can be taken as stand-alone classes or applied to credit certificate programs. Powered by eCollege.com, U.Va.'s online classes meet the same requirements as their on-Grounds counterparts.
