extended education
An institution providing supplementary adult education without major degrees or major research.
An extended-education institution is devoted to supplementary education at an adult level and does not offer major degrees or carry out major research.
The institution provides additional learning at an adult level, including professional training. A school for children or youths has a different educational scope.
Offering a short course does not make a university an extended-education institution. The absence of major degree programs and major research is part of this institutional definition.
