The University of Washington’s Continuing Education program is now offering a certificate in Virtual Worlds, offered via all in-world education.

Learn to use immersive virtual environments to enhance business, social and educational interactions within all types of organizations. Examine methods for creating increasingly sophisticated virtual worlds that incorporate game theory, 3D environments and information science. Explore an emerging movement to create green workplaces by using virtual location alternatives to reduce the need for commuting and business travel. Learn exclusively in a virtual world environment through a hands-on and practical educational approach.

The 9-month course begins in October, and costs $2,625 to enroll. Looks like a broad class open to everyone from educators to programmers, marketers to graphic designers.

Kinda funny tho, that they’re using standard in-class clipart to advertise it tho.
