The Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) at Laurentian University was founded in 1960 to accommodate students wishing to study on campus on a part-time basis. To respond to off-campus students’ needs for autonomy and self-directed study, the distance education program was launched in September 1972. In 1986, CCE commissioned a local business to develop an identity and logo for its distance education program and Envision was the result. Since its inception, our Envision program has grown from one course to an inventory of over 360 courses offered in a variety of delivery modes and now offers numerous complete degrees and several certificate programs.
While the majority of the distance education courses are offered through CCE, many others are offered through Laurentian's federated universities:
University of Sudbury - The University of Sudbury is a university in the Catholic tradition committed to bilingualism and the heritage of Canada’s First Nations. It offers courses in Folklore, Native Studies, Philosophy, and Religious Studies.
Huntington University College - Affiliated with the United Church of Canada, Huntington offers courses in Gerontology, Philosophy and Religious Studies.
Thorneloe University College - Thorneloe is a university of the Anglican faith. It offers courses in Classical Studies, Religious Studies, Theatre Arts, and Women’s Studies.
CCE also administers the On-campus Spring Session program, as well as the Off-campus program, and offers academic counselling to all part-time students in a Bachelor of Arts degree regardless of the mode of course delivery. CCE has been the recipient of awards for excellence in programming from municipal, provincial, and national organizations.
We welcome new students and wish our current students success in their academic endeavours and profoundly hope they will join the thousands of our graduates who have realized their dreams of achieving a university education by taking our courses and programs.
