Academies
Academies
Academies are developed to help meet the noncredit educational needs of groups of employees or members of organizations.
Each academy contains a lineup of online courses that have been selected to meet the specific needs of that particular
group. The courses offered are chosen and often developed by the employers or organizational leaders to provide their
professionals with the necessary skills to succeed.
Upon completion of a course, participants will receive a certificate of completion from Iowa State University that can
be proudly displayed and provide needed credentials for career advancement.
New courses and academies are being developed continuously, so please check back often to see all the opportunities we
have to offer! You may also want to check out the courses available to individuals.
