If you want to be more effective in community and economic development, consider taking a course from Bloustein Online Continuing Education Program. Our courses are high quality, interactive, affordable and convenient. Never taken an online class before? Don't worry. Most of our participants are new to online learning, and more than 90% of those surveyed said they would recommend BOCEP to their colleagues.

Between January and June, we will be offering several courses in community and economic development. These include:

*Community Cultural Development. Learn how to help your community gain the benefits of the creative economy. Discover practices and analytical techniques to determine the best ways to incorporate culture in your economic and community development planning.

*Developer's Toolbox courses. If you want to influence developers, you have to know how they think and learn to use their tools. Upcoming topics in this set of courses focus on conducting and working with housing and retail market studies.

*Affordable Housing Strategies. Learn about innovative policies and techniques communities around the United States use to promote quality affordable housing.

BOCEP courses:

*Provide high quality education. Instructors are expert practitioners in their field, and students are encouraged to share their thoughts with one another. Most students are mid- to high- level professionals. BOCEP staff and instructors pay attention to course evaluations, and we always look to improve our work. Unlike other continuing education programs that try to stuff a lot of information in a small amount of time, BOCEP courses give you the time to explore what you've learned and share your insights among your peers.

*Are convenient. There are no required meetings in BOCEP courses. You participate at your convenience in online discussions. You will likely meet professionals from around the United States, and even other countries.

Are affordable. Courses range from $160 to $260, depending on the discounts you are eligible to receive. All Planetizen subscribers receive $25 off. Use promotion code: 6874f.
