Current
Offerings
Winter-Spring 2010 Courses
A NOTE ABOUT COURSE FEES:
Due to federal funding laws, the OWL Center has
been prohibited from collecting fees this year. This has drastically
altered
our ability to offer inservice courses at our usual rates.
The $435 graduate fees for Brooklyn College courses have remained
the same; the $250 inservice fee was set by the College, and
although it is higher than what you have paid for OWL inservice
credits in the past, it is the best deal we could get until
our
funding is restored to its previous level.
Thank you for your support and understanding. Feel free to
call or email with any questions you may have.
