Never stop learning.

With technologies and practices constantly being added and adjusted across numerous fields, it's more imperative than ever for professionals to stay current on industry trends. Texas Tech University Continuing Education exists to serve non-credit students, but is also an excellent resource for Texas Tech faculty seeking a professional development opportunity.

Faculty can take advantage of one or more of the numerous courses available through Texas Tech's ed2go in their desired area of study. Courses offered range all experience levels from basic usage with Microsoft Office to advanced coding courses. TTU Continuing Education keeps it simple to make steady progressions through courses to achieve a desired level of learning.

Aside from wanting to further personal educational goals, enrolling in courses has other benefits for faculty. A large part of achieving tenure and promotion is writing grants, for which Texas Tech's ed2go platform offers basic to advanced courses. Faculty can also benefit by expanding their professional interests, potentially making them more marketable and better connected.
