Sponsor Designed Learning

Lifelong Learning oversees the development and administration of the academic approval process for undergraduate and graduate credit offerings developed by outside organizations and individuals (or “Sponsors”) in partnership with Union Institute & University.

“Sponsors” in adult learning may offer coursework at one of our centers, online, and/or at other sites. Learner-centered, hands-on, various collaborative methodologies are encouraged. We have worked with many different sponsors, including programs, school districts, and professional development organizations.

Examples include:

• Vermont Institutes
• Stern Center for Learning
• Landmark College Institute for Research and Training
• Vermont Northern Lights
• Mother Goose Programs
• Lamoille Area Professional Development Academy
