Creative Entrepreneur University (CEU) empowers the creative entrepreneur with the necessary skills to sustain an independent arts practice in today’s world. The concept, called WEBucation by its founder Rebecca E. Parsons, is delivered through a series of hands-on courses, tutorials, and seminars. CEU introduces students to entrepreneurial concepts, practical art and design skills, as well as life coaching and mentoring.

A study at ‘your’ convenience concept allows you to work at your own pace in your timeframe and in you fuzzy bunny slippers if you so desire. At 2 AM or 2 PM, the Web student can choose from such popular classes as: Here Today-Blog Tomorrow, e-Commerce for Artists and Craftsmen, PhotoShop Tricks 1 & 2, and Social Media Deconstructed and a program for individuals transitioning from decorative painting into fine arts called “Come Down from the Ladder We’re Making Art Down Here.”

Creative Entrepreneur University features a wide range of classes with world-class instructors. The most unique offerings will be in the School of Life, where we will discover your core values, strengths and weaknesses and forge a business model based on your uniqueness. The range of pricing is from free to $1,998.98. and there will be some package pricing options available.

Longtime creative entrepreneur and instructor Rebecca E. Parsons has rebranded her online workshops and mentoring programs under the comprehensive Creative Entrepreneur University (CEU). “I consider myself a Webucator who is delivering valuable educational content in a format and at a price point that is accessable to everyone,” explained Parsons, who is the author of several books on the life and business of being a creative entrepreneur.

Launched in its new format in January 2010, Creative Entrepreneur University operates like a traditional university with seven integrated schools: Art, Business and e-Commerce, Communications, Design, Life, Marketing, and Social Media. That is where tradition ends as CEU takes full advantage of online components such as video, teleconferencing, screencasting, webcasting and e-books to deliver its curriculum.

Parsons’ plans include growth throughout 2010 with new and exciting courses added monthly. “It is called Creative Entrepreneur University,” she said, “because it is geared to the Webucation of any creative business owner.” The tagline reads, “Webucation of the Creative Entrepreneur forging a life and a business with the work of their hands.”

“There is no reason for an artist not to have a visual presence on the Internet today,” says the self-named Boomer Geek Girl. “It is so easy to build a blog and the technology is free. If you are afraid of your computer, or the Internet, or FaceBook and Twitter, I can help you get over that in less that two days.”

“All courses are developed within my mentoring approach to teaching,” Parsons said. “Some classes will include individual instruction as well as group instruction. Coaching and mentoring will be a part of it. What’s different about what I’m doing is that there will be some personal contact with me and some one-on-one time.”

WEBucation is an additional way to get education and it definitely makes sense. These online courses are a low-cost alternative to classroom training and are a perfect solution for individuals or small companies who do not have the budget or time for an onsite class. You may have the time, but not that extra cash to travel, so you can go to the computer. Whenever you want, Creative Entrepreneur University is here for you.
