Centre for Life-Long Learning
The Centre for Life-Long Learning was created in 2002 to develop and deliver a broad range of continuing education courses, workshops, programs, summer institutes, and other services to help meet the lifelong learning needs of Islanders. Located in Don & Marion McDougall Hall, the Centre offers short courses, online courses, credit and non-credit certificates, and customized training. In addition, the Centre provides advice and supports for adult learners wishing to return to school. It also administers a number of summer institutes and English summer language programs. 

Bachelor of Integrated Studies (BIS)
New opportunities are opening for adults who have an unfinished degree or unfulfilled dreams of someday beginning and attaining a degree. The three-year Bachelor of Integrated Studies (BIS) places the unique needs of adult learners in focus, with a distinct entry point, ongoing learner supports, a broad choice of courses to meet employment requirements and personal interests, and faculty who are noted for their strength in teaching.

Conflict Resolution Studies
Our program envisions a community which is based on respect, equality and justice; we believe that conflict can be dealt with in safe, mutually acceptable and healthy ways; we know the skills to manage and resolve conflict can be learned, and we aspire to contribute to healthier and safer communities by encouraging co-operation and by valuing spiritual as well as mental, emotional, and physical well-being. With a full slate of core and optional courses for application to workplace, family, organization, and other environments, ours is one of the most comprehensive professional development programs in conflict studies in Canada.

Faculty Development Summer Institute
Since 1984, hundreds of participants have had an opportunity to work with professors from Canadian, United States and overseas colleges and universities who believe, as we do, that teaching is both an art and a science. Participants will discover new ideas that will assist their students in learning more effectively, and make teaching even more of a joy than it already is! It is the only one of its kind in Canada and has been in existence for as long as any similar institute in North America. The overall goal of the Institute is to improve teaching and learning by enhancing the knowledge and skills of professors.

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)
PLAR is available to individuals who have been admitted to an undergraduate program of study at UPEI and who believe the skills and knowledge gained from their life, work, and non-formal educational experiences are equivalent to the outcomes identified in a course or program at the University. PLAR is particularly suited to adult learners, helping them gain credits for prior learning in order to avoid repetition of learning and reduce the time and costs involved in completing their degree.
