UCSD May Create New Extension Program

UC San Diego is considering establishing its extension program at a satellite center in North County and is studying whether there is sufficient interest in the area, said Mary Walshok, extended studies dean.

The UCSD extension program has a satellite center in downtown San Diego, which carries about 25 courses out of the 250 offered each quarter at the main La Jolla campus.

A La Jolla consulting firm will determine the general level of interest, Walshok said. If the potential is there, UCSD will then look at specific locations and course offerings, she said.
