To enroll in UCSD Extension programs, applicants must meet specific eligibility criteria. Most courses require a high school diploma or equivalent, though some advanced programs may need a bachelor’s degree or relevant work experience. International students must demonstrate English proficiency via TOEFL, IELTS, or equivalent tests. Certain professional certificates or specialized courses may have additional prerequisites, such as prior coursework or industry experience.
Prospective students should review individual program requirements on the UCSD Extension website, as criteria vary by course. Open enrollment allows flexibility for many programs, but early application is recommended for competitive offerings or visa-seeking international students.
