LEARNING IN PLACE UPDATE

Oct. 1, 2020

UCSC Professional Education Courses Continue Virtually in the Fall

We're open for remote learning and we've scheduled a wonderful slate of remote courses for the fall (through the end of 2020), including dozens of new courses, more short workshops, boot-camp-style intensive programs, and longer, deep dives into curriculum to grow your careers.

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), and
• 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.
