Undergraduate and Graduate Credit Opportunities

Northwest-Kansas City endeavors to assist districts and organizations to provide a rigorous yet meaningful way for participants to receive graduate or undergraduate credit for their participation, implementation and on-going application of their learning from the professional development. Assistance is given in writing the requirements, scoring guides, or is completely done for your organization by the University. A representative from the University is generally on hand for registration and questions regarding the credit requirements.

The credit option is a valuable incentive for your employees since the rate for this credit is offered for a fraction of regular tuition rates.

If you would like to have information on how you might incorporate this option for your employees, please contact Professional Development at 816.844.7857.
