Continuing Education By TAMMY BAUGHMAN ~ SUH Writer Jewelry making, speed reading, public speaking, and calligraphy are just a few of the short courses offered by the Division of Continuing Education at USC. About 107 courses are offered each semester ranging from beginners roller skating to advantages in tax investments. "Anyone can take these courses. We get members from the community, school teachers, students, USC faculty and USC alumni," said Steven Wray-Langer, short courses coordinator. The courses have no academic credit but are recorded in the records office as an indication of having taken the course and passed it. "The courses are academic in nature, but not academic in credits," WrayLanger said. The courses are taught by USC faculty members and leaders in the community. "It depends on who is best prepared to teach the course and knows the subject matter well," Wray-Langer said.

"We have a great deal of alumni who come here to further their education and want to take courses they did not have a chance to take while enrolled in school," Wray-Langer said. Located at the lower level of the Wade Hampton Hotel, the office of Continuing Education is now planning the courses to be offered in the summer.
