These activities may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Participating in live sessions with instructors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Engaging in asynchronous discussions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completing exercises, assignments, or homework<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watching assigned videos or completing assigned readings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other required course activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">CEUs reflect the estimated time an average student will spend completing the mandatory components of a course. This estimate, developed in collaboration with instructors, applies uniformly to all students who successfully complete the course. Optional activities or additional time some students may need to complete assignments are not included in this estimate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"gb-text gb-text-1632c86c\">Awarding of CEUs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">CEUs are awarded to learners upon successfully completing all course requirements, which may include assessments, assignments, evaluations, or a final project. CEUs serve as a formal acknowledgment of a learner\u2019s participation and achievement in the program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"gb-text gb-text-cac9df70\">What CEUs Do Not Qualify For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">In certain fields, such as medicine and education, continuing education credits like professional development units (PDUs) and continuing medical education (CME) credits are governed by professional bodies that set specific standards. CEUs offered through Johns Hopkins Engineering Executive and Professional Education are not overseen by such governing bodies. Programs in fields where a governing body does oversee continuing education are not eligible for CEUs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"gb-text gb-text-2f678ea2\">Benefits of CEUs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Earning CEUs allows professionals to demonstrate their commitment to continuous learning and skill advancement. In addition to receiving a course completion credential from Johns Hopkins University, CEUs help quantify the time and effort invested in professional development. For instance, while several providers may offer a course titled \u201cIntroduction to Programming Using Java,\u201d the 2.0 CEUs awarded by Johns Hopkins signal that the course requires 20 instructional hours, helping learners convey the depth of their learning to colleagues and employers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About CEUs What Are CEUs?
