Loras College recently issued the following announcement.
In the past year, Loras has introduced four continuing education programs that offer additional opportunities for graduates and professionals either in their fields or in a profession they wish to pursue. You can learn more and apply by visiting loras.edu/graduate.
Certified Financial Planning Certification
Loras launched a collaboration with Dalton Education to offer a certified financial planning (CFP) certification education that fulfills the education requirements necessary to sit for the CFP exam. In this nine-month virtual program, students learn from nationally-recognized experts in their fields and in strategies for successful completion of the CFP exam.
The program offers a flexible yet structured learning path, providing students with practical, applied knowledge and is open to anyone interested in attaining CFP certification. It is well-suited for new financial professionals looking to build a solid career foundation, mid-career professionals looking to advance in their current position, career changers looking to enter the financial planning profession, financial advisors looking to enhance their earning potential and professionals committed to maximizing client satisfaction.
Master of Science in Biomedical Sciences
When the current academic year started, the new biomedical sciences program launched to serve as an academic record enhancement postbaccalaureate pre-medical/pre-health program. These types of postbaccalaureate programs are specifically intended for students who have taken the required undergraduate science coursework to apply to medical school or other graduate-level health professional programs but do not have a competitive application. The program’s coursework is designed to challenge students looking to enhance their previous academic history to be competitive applicants for med school, a Ph.D. program or a full-time job.
Athletic Training Continuing Education
The latest program to launch is a continuing education opportunity for athletic trainers. Offered quarterly, it will address practice gaps from Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE) 2020 standards to clinical practice for certified athletic trainers and athletic training students in the tri-state region. The courses will focus on various topics pertinent to athletic training including injury and illness prevention and wellness promotion; examination, assessment, and diagnosis; immediate and emergency care; therapeutic intervention; and healthcare administration and professional responsibility.
Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor Certification Education Program
With rates of alcohol and drug addiction rising dramatically, the need for additional counselors led to the creation of a program that fulfills the educational requirements needed to apply to become an Iowa Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC). The four courses in the CADC certification education program are offered in either an in-person evening, online or hybrid format to allow individuals to continue to work or gain the required internship hours needed to apply for the certification.
