School of Extended Studies
For 2009–10, Naropa University's School of Extended Studies is implementing a modified curriculum. We are committed to continuing our professional development programming, including the Authentic Leadership Certificate Program, the End of Life Care Certificate Program and Conference, 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.
