The UCSD Extension has just made it easier for you to earn college credits while you're learning Spanish. For each weekend course, a student can receive 1.0 quarter units of UCSD Extension credit or 10 contact hours. For each week-long program, the UCSD Extension offers 3.0 units of credit. The University strongly recommends that students take advantage of the Center's home stay program by living with a carefully selected local Mexican family during their visit to Ensenada. In addition, some credits may be applied as electives in UCSD Extension's Professional Certificate in Spanish.
Teachers can apply credit toward CLAD second language requirements.
Registered nurses can receive 30 contact hours of re-licensure credit for the week long program. Customized programs can be arranged for special interest groups such as teachers or health care professionals.
