Jane S. McKimmon Center for Extension and Continuing Education

North Carolina State University's McKimmon Center for Extension and Continuing Education opened in 1976, but the history of continuing education at NCSU dates back even further. As early as 1895, the college began to hold short courses (and later summer schools) outside of its normal offerings to college students. In 1924, the College Extension Divison was formally established to oversee many of these programs. In 1965 this unit was renamed the Division of Continuing Education.
