LEARNING IN PLACE UPDATE

Dec. 8, 2020

UCSC professional education courses continue virtually through spring 2021.

Enroll now for winter 2021. Spring course enrollment opens Jan. 15!

We're continuing our all-virtual, classroom experience with live instruction, plus online, self-paced courses through spring 2021.

We've got so many new programs—from diversity and AI to entrepreneurship and many quarterly updates to existing curriculum. Continue your professional education with us.

You have your choice

• Online remote classes taught live on the Zoom platform
• Self-paced, online courses with no scheduled instructor meetings
• Online courses that provide optional instructor meetings (see individual online or blended courses)
• Short virtual courses that take fewer than 30 days to complete

Unfortunately we can't yet determine when we will include a return to onsite classes. Our plan is to open for onsite instruction as soon as we can safely accommodate you and meet state and county health guidance.

We will be in touch. If you are not sure you're on our mailing list and would like to receive updates, please sign up to receive the latest news.
