This article presents Norwegian policies regarding continuing education and discusses their impact on recently observed trends toward the development of a "service university." An analysis of main concepts related to continuing education provides the backdrop for subsequent discussions. The Norwegian scene is presented in the analyses and discussions made about an initiative taken by a department in one of Norway's universities to become a service department in the field of continuing higher education. The empirical findings from this case confirm the main hypothesis of this article: marketing of continuing higher education programs is a rational response to national economic and employment policies and a means to strengthen the institution's budget, as well as meeting individual adult education needs
