“The mission of Stanford Continuing Studies is to share the rich educational resources of Stanford University, to nurture a vibrant learning community, to nourish the life of the mind, and to promote the pleasures of intellectual exploration and exchange.” Digital Media Academy is proud to extend this ambitious cause, by bringing its courses and programs to students throughout the US and Canada.

Continuing Studies courses carry Continuing Education Units (CEU’s), not undergraduate/graduate credits. Stanford Continuing Studies Credits cannot be applied toward any Stanford degree. However, credits will be recorded on your transcript with Stanford Continuing Studies, and you might be able to transfer the credits to another university, subject to that university’s policies.

What’s a CEU? A CEU is a unit of credit equal to ten hours of participation in an accredited program. Professionals, for example, are often required to participate in continuing education programs for a certain number of hours every year in order to keep their certificates, or licenses to practice, current. In addition, CEU’s awarded by a prestigious institution such as Stanford University Continuing Studies, can strengthen a college or post-graduate admissions application. In some cases institutions will count the CEU credits towards high school AP or college credit.
