Department of Continuing Education
Stetson University is proud to be a provider of Road Scholar programs for over 20 years. We offer traditional programs on our DeLand campus and oceanfront in Daytona Beach. We have a variety of Golf and Tennis programs in Daytona Beach,a Florida's First Coast Historical program hosted in St. Augustine, or enjoy a Chinese Theme program in Orlando. We even offer intergenerational programs in St. Augustine, Orlando and Daytona Beach. We are offering a unique program in conjunction with Walt Disney World® and the Disney Institute®. During the week you will visit behind the scenes of Animal Kingdom, Disney MGM Studios and Epcot® with Disney Cast members. You will attend Cirque du Soleil one evening and return the next day to see how the show is performed. On Thursday you will spend a full day exploring the "Utilidor", the underground operations of Disney World.
For twenty-five years, Stetson University has been hosting the Florida Winters Pastors' School for pastors of all denominations. The school not only provides pastoral learning but is an excellent time for fellowship among men and women of faith.
Stetson University, in partnership with the DeLand Area Chamber of Commerce, created Leadership DeLand. Today, twenty years later, we have graduated over 350 future leaders of our community. This 12 week program introduces current and future community and business leaders and provides insight into the working of state and local municipalities, local corporations, the education system and economic development.
To better prepare students for acceptance into different advanced degree programs, we offer test preparatory classes for the LSAT and MCAT. These classes are scheduled in the evening as not to interfere in daytime classes.
The Department of Continuing Education provides ongoing training for local businesses through a series on business workshops such as marketing, customer service and team building. We also offer both personal and professional development classes, Windows XP and Office XP software training, Certified Nursing Assistance training and a variety of leadership and soft skills training.
This summer we are glad to offer Destination Science Camps for children ages 6-12. These camps are week long fun-filled exploration in to the world of science held on our DeLand campus. We are offering three different science programs including Extreme Battlebots, Raging Wet Reaction Lab , and Hydro Galactic Rocket Mania.
Finally, the Department of Continuing Education provides a variety of classes in religion, history, the arts, and others topics for our local senior community. We make available space in all our Road Scholar programs for commuters and provide speakers to local senior centers.
