Several certificate and diploma programs are offered through faculties other than University Extension. A wide variety of non-credit programs ranging from history to literature, from music to fitness is offered. An annual Distinguished Canadian Award is presented to an outstanding older Canadian. The Centre also co-ordinates the Elderhostel residential learning program at the University, and initiates a variety of applied older adult education and gerontological research projects with community and government agencies in Saskatchewan, elsewhere in Canada, and internationally. The Conservatory of Music and Dance provides the community, from the very young beginner to accomplished professional, with the opportunity to benefit from the University's expertise in music, dance and drama education.
Students range from very young children to seniors.
Students may study toward recognized certificates and diplomas, but are not required to do so. The experience of Conservatory students is enriched by a full program of recitals and scholarships, and a variety of performing groups from chamber ensembles and children's choirs, to the Junior and Intermediate Orchestras. Workshops and master classes are offered throughout the academic year.
