About Us
Dean's Message
Thank You for Sharing with Us!
One of the joys of my job is getting out of the office to meet students at public events, information sessions, and classes. You are diverse and incredibly talented. You are highly motivated, engaged in not only your education but in your communities, not afraid to take risks and make sacrifices. A number of you have lost your jobs and many of you are concerned about your future. None of you are sitting around waiting to see what happens. Every one of you has made the decision to invest in yourself and actively direct your future.
You are highly likely to be college graduates and you may even have an advanced degree. You want to make a career transition, advance in your current career, pursue a passion, or take a class for the sheer joy of learning. You choose to come to UC Berkeley Extension for your continuing education because of our accessibility, our reputation for excellence, the content of our courses, the quality of our instructors—and for the fellowship, friendships, and networks that you build with other students.
As a community, UC Berkeley Extension has a set of core values that reflect who we are and guide what we do. At the top of the list is our commitment to every student's success. If you have a lot in common with the amazing students I have met, I invite you to join our community. Come and learn more about us by browsing our website, giving us a call (510) 642-4111, coming to a free information session, attending a free public lecture, or just stopping by and viewing the student work on exhibit at our beautiful SoMA Art and Design Center at 95 Third Street in San Francisco.
The more we get to know about you, our students, the more inspiration we find to offer you the best education.
Come to UC Berkeley Extension and learn how to be your best!
