Off Grounds

BACK TO TOP

With the establishment of a Bureau of Extension in 1915, the University of Virginia demonstrated its commitment to continuing and professional studies and began an organized effort to make its academic resources available to the citizens of the Commonwealth outside Charlottesville. In 1920, the University opened its first extension office in Richmond. Since that time, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies has created a unique network of regional academic program centers across the state, which assess and respond to the educational needs of Virginians in every city and county. These programs supplement the academic offerings of local institutions of higher education with the variety of courses and level of instruction that a comprehensive university can offer.

The directors of these off-Grounds and programming centers and offices organize, administer, and evaluate programs throughout their geographic service areas, assisted by staff members who specialize in programs for business and industry, education, government, the humanities and social sciences.
