Digital and Lifelong Learning
Since 1913, continuing education has been a significant offering across the University, and it continues to be the primary function of Digital and Lifelong Learning.
Formerly known as the Friday Center for Continuing Education, Digital and Lifelong Learning is UNC-Chapel Hill's central resource for online, flexible, and lifelong learning. From high-school dual-enrolled coursework, to ongoing professional education, to enrichment classes aimed at retirees, we connect all learners to offerings taught by outstanding UNC-Chapel Hill faculty, staff, alumni and community experts.
Digital and Lifelong Learning is Carolina's center for continuing education, serving the varied needs of adult learners.
