About Professional and Workforce Development

The Professional and Workforce Development (PWD) programs help working adults acquire new, updated, or complementary skills needed to achieve or maintain proficiency in their current profession, earn noncredit educational certificates, prepare for professional certification examinations, quality for promotion in their organization, transition into a new career, meet professional continuing education requirements, prepare for graduate entrance examinations, or return to the workforce.  We also work with employers to bring many of these programs directly to their staff, either at Ole Miss or at the work site.

PWD offers a wide range of certificate and other programs to meet your needs.  Certificate programs are designed to help you quickly develop in-depth skills and knowledge in a professional field.
