Crawford Lee Benedict has been named vice president and general manager of the home-study division of United Education & Software, an Encino company that also operates a chain of career schools.

Benedict, who previously headed UES’s data services division, replaces R. Nelson Carnes, who had directed the division since it was acquired by UES two years ago. Carnes has resumed his full-time role as vice president of corporate development at UES’s executive offices.

UES also appointed Horace R. Moore to the newly created position of operations director for the home-study division.
