UCLA’s Division of Continuing Education, comprised principally of UCLA Extension and Summer Sessions, has been serving Greater Los Angeles with distinction since 1917.
     Among the most highly regarded programs in the world, UCLA Extension is also the largest single-campus program of continuing higher education in the nation, with nearly 105,000 enrollments from more than 4600 courses and programs, taught by some 2500 instructors drawn from various professional communities and the faculty. Summer Sessions is the largest such program in the Western U.S., enrolling about 10,500 undergraduate and graduate students in 1998, who took an average of nearly two courses each.
     Summer Sessions consists of established UCLA courses taught by UCLA faculty. Extension’s reputation derives in large measure from its original curricula, in certificated and intensive programs in arts and design, entertainment studies, creative writing, global trade and commerce, real estate, digital image creation, advanced technologies, paralegal studies, information systems, and manufacturing engineering. Such courses are generally taught by expert practitioners, highly regarded in their professional fields. Extension is also renowned for series of high-level conferences in subjects ranging from public policy transportation and development issues, early childhood education, to hotel industry investment, and for its public service programs that disseminate UCLA faculty research to the broader constituencies of the university.
     Extension programs are held at UCLA, and as part of its historic mission of outreach to all of Southern California, in metropolitan centers in downtown L.A., Santa Monica, Westwood, and at Universal CityWalk. Many conferences and classes are also held in school, governmental, and industry sites throughout the county, and upon demand, in cities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia as well. While the clear majority of Summer Sessions classes are held at UCLA, a significant number also include faculty-led courses abroad.

1997-‘98 MILESTONES INCLUDE:
The UCLA Extension Lindbrook Center opened in Westwood Village in January 1998. This general purpose facility contains 18 classrooms and, in the daytime, is the anchor for Extension’s American Language Center (ALC). The ALC houses the largest concentration of international students at UCLA. Approximately 3,000 students come each year for programs of variable duration, to master English for academic and professional purposes.
In recognition of the standing of the UCLA Extension Interior and Environmental Design Program, the largest endowment to date in support of adult learners was made possible by a bequest from the late James Northcutt, renowned interior designer – to support UCLA Extension students entering the design profession.
UCLA Extension has emerged as one of the national leaders in the provision of distance learning, in partnership with OnlineLearning.net. With the most extensive offerings available in the UC system, we have enrolled students from all 50 states and more than 25 nations since 1997.
