Historical Note
Shaw University was founded in 1865. In 1875, the University was
chartered as The Shaw University by an Act of the North Carolina
General Assembly. The University is church-related, having remained
affiliated with the Baptist church throughout its history.
Concept
CAPE provides innovative educational delivery systems for many self-directed, highly motivated persons who are otherwise unable to attend institutions of higher education. CAPE is designed specifically for the mature learner who has demonstrated a deep interest, strong desire, and clear vocational choice and who has expressed a need to participate in an alternative form of education. It offers educational opportunities to those who, because of job or family situations, military service obligations, or unsatisfactory choices of offerings, have been unable to attend institutions of higher education. Through CAPE the faculty affords students a unique opportunity to participate in a process of learning that goes beyond the traditions of a sharply circumscribed campus and calendar. Students are afforded an opportunity to expand their educational horizon through enrolling in undergraduate, graduate and continuing education courses. Students are able to earn as they learn through such instructional modes as independent study, internships, seminars, life experiences, and regular classes offered during the day, evenings, and on weekends.
