Welcome to Continuing Education! Plotting new courses since 1970 It’s so easy to set our navigation to autopilot and let life happen, instead of making a conscious decision to steer beyond our comfort zone on a new and potentially risky course. This spring, challenge yourself with new explorations and new voyages. Don’t simply go with the flow—be the flow. Leave a wide wake. Plot a new course with Continuing Education and see where it takes you.

As an instructor in Continuing Education at NSC as well as a student I appreciate the ability to find classes that fit within my specific interests. I am a practicing artist whose family members are all scientists and I enjoy the crossover that can happen between these two disciplines. This class is perfectly taught as a both an exploration of cutting-edge scientific tools as well as an investigation in photography. I enjoyed every moment of it. – Amanda Knowles, North Seattle College Visual Art Instructor & Art Gallery Coordinator on Kristin Schroeder’s Scanning Electron Microscope class
