Continuing education enrollments, Universitywide and UC campuses, 2002-03 to 2009-10
UC is a significant provider of continuing education to Californians. Adult learners take nearly 300,000 courses each year from University Extension programs.
UC Extension offers a highly diverse range of courses designed to serve the continuing-education needs of working professionals through both credit and non-credit programs. UC Extension is completely self-supporting. Each campus extension program addresses particular educational needs in its own geographic area.
Extension programs and activities have economic impacts that multiply throughout the regional economy of every campus. A recent study of UCLA's extension programs, for example, estimated an annual contribution of $250 million to the regional economy, 70 percent of which was attributable to students' increased earning power after completing an extension program.
