of EventsThe Commonwealth’s fastest growing county is about to become home to UMass Boston’s newest off-campus facility. Beginning in spring 2002, the Division of Corporate, Continuing, and Distance Education (CCDE) will offer undergraduate, graduate, and professional training courses and programs at Cordage Park, a former industrial facility that has been recently developed into an office, retail, and restaurant complex. Cordage Park will be the university’s largest off-campus site, with a 25-station computer lab, a videoconferencing studio, two regular classrooms, and office space.
Working with the Plymouth Area Chamber of Commerce, the Plymouth Economic Development Office, the Plymouth Public Schools, and the office of State Senator Theresa Murray, CCDE has commissioned a number of surveys, field interviews, focus groups, and other market research activities to determine the educational and training needs of individuals and employers in the area. Spring course offerings will address a variety of academic and business topics and will be delivered both live in the classroom and through distance learning technology. Initial offerings will be marketed to the public but CCDE expects that many of the offerings at the Plymouth site will be developed specifically for corporate clients.
