Short Courses

Short Courses are designed to increase your knowledge of a specific subject while offering you the experience of experts in industry and academia. Top-quality instructors stay current on the subject matter required to advance your research and career goals. An added benefit of attending a Short Course is the availability of continuing education units (CEUs).
