Biographical Note / Historical Note / Administrative History
The Office of Continuing Education was originally named the Office of Extended Services in 1947. The original purpose of the office was to promote and develop programs for learning for summer, evening, and off-campus classes directed toward non-traditional and adult students. With the expansion of Ball State the mission was broadened and the department renamed the Office of Continuing Education in the 1972/1973 academic year. The expanded department's mission was to expand the quantity and diversity of continuing education programs at Ball State University in conjunction with the University's many academic departments. Today, the department has transformed into the Office of Online and Distance Education and serves students on a national and international scale.
