Continuing Education


A Valuable Choice

Guilford offers 40-plus majors, and as a Continuing Education student, you can be a full-time student by attending classes as few as two days a week. We understand the challenges you face juggling responsibilities and finances. For that reason, we've created a price structure that makes it easier to invest in your future — one that's sensitive to the specific needs of our Continuing Education students.
Contact the Office of Admission at 336.316.2100 or admission@guilford.edu to discuss your options and to make a plan that works for you.
