<p>Seriously, what is it? Is it related to UCSD at all? 'Cos I’d like to take some business courses, but it looks as if it’s independent from UCSD, in which case the name would be a bit of a misnomer…</p>
<p>UCSD Extension is … easily google-able.</p>
<p>“UC San Diego extension is the continuing education and public program branch of the university. As part of their goal, Extension strives to combine local impact with national reputation and global reach. Extension has been recognized for linking the community to expert professionals and the knowledge resources of the university.
Approximately 20,000 students per year are enrolled into the university-level professional courses. Extension provides over 100 certificate programs and over 25 specialized study programs. Most courses are held evenings and weekends for the convenience to working adults at one of the four locations; UC San Diego main campus in La Jolla, the Extension Sorrento Mesa Center, the Extension Rancho Bernardo Center, and the Extension Mission Valley Center.”</p>
<p>Occasionally they’ll open up classes for registered UCSD students, but I don’t think it applies to everyone – I was a grad student when I got those emails.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks. I did Google it and come across that description, but I really didn’t feel like it told me anything. I don’t know much about colleges and continuing education and such, so I was hoping somebody here could enlighten me.</p>
<p>Since it looks like it’s a separate school from UCSD/off-limits to UCSD undergraduate students, I shouldn’t look into it too deeply? (UCSD’s lack of a business program to undergrads is really frustrating! I was all excited for a moment, too. lol.)</p>
<p>You’re free to take Extension classes, but you’ll be paying for them out of pocket (generally, no financial aid will cover these costs)</p>
