It's gift giving season. Instead of a new sweater, treat yourself to
something that will serve you for years to come. And what would that be, you
ask? It's the Open Classes online program
<http://ischool.sjsu.edu/programs/ischool-open-classes>  at the San Jose
State University School of Information! 

 

Learn how to successfully write a grant proposal, experience the best in
online learning, and get a head start on a master's degree, if that's in
your future. The Open Classes program allows you to take many of the
elective courses we offer in our master's degree programs, and you'll earn
college credit!

our award-winning online learning environment

The spring semester runs from January 24 to May 14, 2018. However, some
courses are only for one unit or two units and have a shorter duration and
reduced fees. If you are paying for the class yourself, you may qualify for
the IRS Lifetime Learning Credit, which offsets the costs of education
expenses by reducing the amount of your income tax.
