Throughout our more than 90-year history, School of Government faculty have dedicated their time to understanding the ins and outs of local government in North Carolina. From broad-ranging courses suitable for any public servant to specific technical programs, our general local government courses will ensure practitioners have the tools they need to succeed. 

As you advance in your career, the School of Government offers guidance on courses and resources relevant to your career. We provide two learning tracks: Certifications and Pathways. Many courses also meet the requirements for maintaining professional certifications and earning continuing education credits.
