Courses focusing on heritage studies may equip students with a broad understanding of how cultures impact the present. Programs provide students with the knowledge and skills to research and apply cultural findings to locations, politics, literature and art.

Courses are offered in many ways that help meet the needs of a varied student population. From standard in-classroom study to summer classes and even online offerings, the opportunities to pursue higher education have never been easier.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
