Workshops and Continuing Education

Celebrate Learning as a Life-Long Adventure!

Continuing Education and Community Programs (CE) is a division of Sierra Nevada College created to serve the local and regional communities, and to promote lifelong learning.  CE classes are non-credit and serve a variety of ages, making them distinct from the College’s regular academic schedule.

Summer Art Workshops

SNC offers a variety of summer workshops given by nationally known ceramists, glass artists, painters, sculptors, printmakers, digital artists, musicians, photographers, paper makers, jewelers, and more.

On Tuesday night at 7pm, each week during the workshops, we’ll host our “Meet the Artist” lecture in the Prim Library, which will be immediately followed by an informal reception in the Tahoe Gallery.

Team Business

This week-long summer camp is an interactive program for high school students interested in learning entrepreneurship skills. Small student teams work together to develop a new business or product idea, prepare a high level business concept plan and present an elevator pitch to a panel of business professionals and SNC faculty.

Registration

Registration for Continuing Education:  Registrations are taken year-round.  It is recommended to sign up for classes early because class size is limited.  Instructors contract for a minimum class size, and in order for a class to be held it must meet a minimum enrollment.

Make sure you ask for “Continuing Education” when calling for information or registration.
