This fall, the Friday Center is excited to announce an expansion of its nursing professional development portfolio.

It is now known as Continuing Nursing Education (CNE), and is still accredited with distinction by ANCC.

The UNC-Chapel Hill Friday Center for Continuing Education has joined 2U, Inc., and more than 30 non-profit universities nationwide to launch a $3 million scholarship fund designed to expand access to critical tech training boot camps for historically underrepresented candidates experiencing job loss or financial hardship.
