Professional Development Online Education

Professional Development Courses Sponsored by Outside Agencies

The University of Wyoming's Online Education department, in partnership with the academic colleges and departments, is pleased to offer Professional Development credit for outside agencies (school districts, foundations and other non-governmental agencies) who wish to provide training for their employees. These courses can be taken for graduate UW credits that are not transferable into a UW degree program. These courses are numbered “5959”. The “5959” courses are graduate credits and are used primarily by practicing teachers who already have a bachelor’s degree.
