About Professional and Continuing Education at Fort Hays State University
In 2024, Fort Hays State University (FHSU) approved the creation of a centralized Professional & Continuing Education (PCE) unit. The unit supports operations of microcredential programs at the University and works collaboratively with internal and external entities to develop programs for learners in the surrounding community, state of Kansas, and nation, based on employer and workforce/industry needs. Programs are offered online, live in-person or on Zoom, and/or in a blended format.
Company History
Fort Hays State University was founded in 1902 as the Western Branch of Kansas State Normal School. The institution was originally located on the grounds of Fort Hays, a Nineteenth-Century frontier military outpost. The state of Kansas initially intended the university’s academic programs to focus on agriculture, but it opened as a “normal” or teacher’s college.
FHSU today is a regional comprehensive public university where determined, innovative and caring faculty and staff share a deep commitment to teaching and mentoring students. Our mission is to develop the engaged global citizen-leaders our world needs today.
