Without setting foot on campus, people of all ages and interests can take non-credit classes for professional development, personal enrichment or both from Georgia Southern University's Continuing Education Center. After registering and paying, participants can sign on to study or complete assignments at any time of the day or night.

Among the most popular classes are speed Spanish, web-page development, and accounting, according to Judy Hendrix, the program specialist in charge of Georgia Southern's Education to Go courses. Of the 300-some online topics available from the Statesboro, GA campus, most are presented in a standard $89, 12-lesson format.

All class members must have internet access, a web browser (Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and an e-mail address. A new section of each course starts on the second or third Wednesday of each month. Courses for the first three months of 2007 will begin on Jan. 17, Feb. 21 and March 21.

Interested individuals can see a complete listing of classes and register online by visiting http://ceps.georgiasouthern.edu/conted and clicking on the Online Instruction Center. For more information, contact Hendrix at jhendrix@georgiasouthern.edu or (912) 681-5993.
