New: Fall Online Courses (Start Dates: Nov-Dec)

Enjoy the flexibility and convenience of online study, from wherever you are!

Students from around the world or right here in Chicago can join SAIC’s vibrant learning community of artists, designers, and scholars by enrolling in an Adult Continuing Education (ACE) online course. We are continually evolving, creating new opportunities to best serve our students. Options include courses where interaction with the instructor, peers, and course content can happen at any time of day and others with sessions scheduled at a specific time, meeting on a video conferencing platform.

Peruse the listings for Fall below and return often—more online offerings will be made available throughout the Fall. Or take a moment to view all current Adult Continuing Education courses.
