College of Professional & Continuing Education
About the College
The College of Professional and Continuing Education (CPCE) was established to facilitate access to Rowan University’s high quality academic programs for individuals seeking education, training, and enrichment in a convenient and affordable setting. CPCE students are characterized as non-traditional because of their personal and professional lives and their preference for studying part-time with flexible schedules and convenient and innovative instructional modes of delivery.

If your company is in need of customized training or there is a particular area of interest you would like to explore with us please contact us at (856) 256-4129 or via email at cpce@rowan.edu.
Admission and Graduation Requirements
CPCE students are admitted according to the same standards and requirements established by the Admission’s office, the Graduate School, and the corresponding academic departments.
CPCE does not have its own degrees, nor does it “own” a curriculum. It is simply a vehicle to offer existing degrees to a different population of students through different modes of delivery. Therefore, the respective academic unit will grant the same diploma and/or certificate to students pursuing a degree through CPCE as it would to a traditional student.
Support Services
Academic advising and student support services are provided by the professional staff of CPCE, and will follow the processes, plans of study, and academic standards established by the academic departments. Support services will be provided based upon the needs of our students. To contact a CPCE representative, please call (856) 256-4129 or email cpce@rowan.edu.
