AIM Capstone papers can be read and downloaded from the UO Scholars Bank.

Behind the Lens was a noncredit film seminar that took a relaxed approach to exploring the history of cinema. The final program offering was Summer 2017. For those interested in pursuing film events at the university, Continuing and Professional Education's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute offers a film series as part of its programming. Also, the Department of Cinema Studies offers free and low-cost screening events that are often open to the public

Boot Camps were 24-week, part-time, noncredit programs offered both in-person and online for five and a half years. In January 2019, CPE and Trilogy Education Services launched the inaugural Boot Camp as in-person programming in Portland, OR. After 2U acquired Trilogy in April 2019, CPE continued to offer the Boot Camps in partnership with 2U in Portland, Oregon, before transitioning the boot camps to fully online delivery in March 2020. In November 2021, 2U rebranded as edX under which the Boot Camp partnership continued until sunsetting in June 2025.

Four topics were offered: Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Software Development (previously known as Coding), and UX/UI. Eligible participants earned certificates of completion.

Starting Fall 2018, the Geology of Central Oregon program offered quarterly workshops in partnership with the UO Department of Earth Sciences. The workshops coupled educational lectures with field trips to local areas of interest, including Crooked River Caldera and Mt. Bachelor. Volcanologist Dr. Daniele McKay led the fledgling program, which was halfway through its second academic year when the workshops ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. McKay is active in other organizations, namely the Central Oregon Geoscience Society (COGS), which offers free presentations open to the public. COGS presentations are held the fourth Tuesday of the month from September to November and January to May.

As of February 2017, the University of Oregon Courses for High School Students (UOCHSS) Program is no longer available.

Students who took courses in the UOCHSS Program received UO college credit. If the students go on to attend the University of Oregon, this coursework will not count toward University of Oregon's group requirements or required courses for a major. For example, if the student took EC 199 through UOCHSS, the credit will not count towards Social Studies group requirements. Additionally, if the student plans to major in Economics at the University of Oregon, then EC 199 cannot be substituted for EC 202: Microeconomics. UOCHSS credits can be used toward elective credits at the UO.

The UO Insight Seminars program, created and led by Dr. Jim Earl for 20 years, has moved to a new format. The series is now titled Saturday Seminars and is hosted by OLLI-UO.

These four-week college-level courses are for people eager to engage in college level study for the sake of personal fulfillment. Seminars are noncredit and ungraded. However, there is a good deal of challenging homework, which typically includes reading of both primary and secondary materials. While seminars are led by faculty who provide formal study guides and lead college-level discussions, participants are expected to be prepared to actively contribute to each session.

Participation in Saturday Seminars is open to general community members (OLLI membership is not required.) However, active OLLI members may register at a reduced seminar fee.

The UO Professional Development for Educators (PDE) program that was administered by UO Continuing and Professional Education stopped administering credits in Spring 2019. Directions on how to request a transcript of any credit classes taken can be found on the Office of the Registrar's website.
