UCI’s 1st Off-Campus Learning Center Will Open in September
UC Irvine officials are calling their first off-campus learning center an extension of the extension, a satellite of the 32-year-old UCI Extension program to open Sept. 22 to serve North County residents.
The UCI Learning Center in Orange will offer 74 of the most popular career-related courses among 1,800 classes offered each year by UCI Extension.
The satellite program will occupy the entire second floor of the four-story building at 200 S. Manchester Ave. An open house and information sessions are planned for early September.
The creation of the Learning Center was prompted by the continued growth of UCI Extension, where enrollment climbed 7.5% for the latest school year, to nearly 30,000 students.
Courses will be identical to those offered at UCI Extension and will focus on the arts, humanities, business and management, education, teaching English as a second language, health and social sciences, design, information and engineering technologies, legal programs, and science and technology. There are 14 classrooms at the 19,000-square-foot satellite campus, including a computer lab, officials said.
Classes will be offered on weekdays, evenings and weekends.
