Explore. Dream. Discover. - College of DuPage

Welcome! We are happy to present you with new
and expanded offerings this summer
through College of DuPage Continuing
Education. Learning is a lifelong
journey and we are proud to be able to
offer exciting programs for all ages and
a wide range of interests.
Young children can attend preschool
at our state-of-the-art Early Childhood
Education Center, or enjoy fun and
educational courses and great
summer camps with themes like Fun
and Fitness, Mother Nature, World
Destinations and Summer Olympics.
High school students can take advantage of our new Summer CE
College Credit programs to get a head start on their college education,
or take courses for high school credit.
Adults of all ages can benefit from a wide range of personal
enrichment and professional development programs to learn a new
skill, pursue an interest or launch a dream career. We also have
new program offerings in our Lifelong Learning Institute including
Mysterious King Arthur, Epic Iliad and Art in Motion.
We have been listening to your suggestions and you’ll see the results
in the pages of this catalog. If you have new ideas for a course or
certificate program, we would love to hear from you. Visit us at
www.cod.edu/conted to let us know about a program you would
like to take or teach. We are always looking for instructors who can
provide wonderful courses for the community.
We encourage you to take a look at our many offerings this summer and
to enroll in the programs that allow you to explore, dream and discover.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you
did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the
safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain
