Meet Our Students and Faculty
Our students and faculty make the Extension School a vibrant place to continue your education. In class you might find an ER doctor who is changing his career to computer science, or a high school teacher earning a degree to broaden her knowledge base. Faculty bring subjects to life in interesting ways, such as organizing a casino night, where students put the probability principles they've learned into practice.
