Mission
The Mission of the Lewis University School for Professional and Continuing
Education is to provide quality, innovative, and relevant learning
opportunities for adults with diverse backgrounds who seek professional
and personal growth.
Inspired by Lewis University’s Catholic and Lasallian Mission and heritage,

seminars, and customized training in a variety of delivery formats
to meet the
unique needs of adult students individually and in group settings.

in Lewis University programs at any site where the institution

to effectively and efficiently serve the educational needs of adult
students enrolled at Lewis.
