Classes leading to the certificates begin in January 2009.
Through the Center for Adult and Professional Studies, students may pursue certificates through traditional and online classes. Additionally, majors offered are business administration, liberal studies, elementary education, and courses leading to teacher licensure.

Courses available through the Center for Adult and Professional Studies will be offered on St. Andrews’ Main Campus in Laurinburg, its St. Andrews @ Sandhills site in Pinehurst, and through St. Andrews Online.
