Continuing Education Units (CEU)

Monique Staats Updated by Monique Staats

What is a Continuing Education Unit (CEU)?

The Continuing Education Unit is a nationally recognized method of quantifying the time spent in the classroom during professional development and training activities (United States only). The purpose of issuing CEUs is to provide a permanent record of training and continuing education for individuals who need to submit proof of their continuing education to state licensing boards, employers, etc.  

Most eCornell courses grant 0.6 CEUs each. CEUs are earned per course, and are included on your Student Transcript. For more information on CEUs, please visit the CEU official website.
