School of Extended Studies
Naropa University's School of Extended Studies is implementing a modified curriculum during
the 2009–10 academic year. We are committed to continuing our professional development programming, including the Authentic Leadership Certificate Program, The Contemplative End-of-Life Care Professional Certificate Program, and the Wilderness Therapy Symposium. In addition, we will offer a limited number of personal enrichment programs that reflect the core of contemplative education as Naropa and guest faculty become available. We invite you to check our website periodically for announcements of new programs and further developments.
We thank you for your continued support of Naropa University Extended Studies.
