Is UCSD extended studies worth it?

Our son took the same course at UCSD in the summer. It wasn’t through the Extension program. The course was part of a summer program for high school students and we didn’t pay that much for it. He did receive some college credit but was required to take a competency exam to receive the credit. He took it for “fun”.
The Extension program is different from the university itself. You won’t get “brownie” points for going through that program. The Extension Program is typically for people that are already in a profession and need a course for their job.
Ask your counselor if that should be an option for you.
