The University of California, Riverside (UCR) is a public university, and its Extension program, including International Education Programs (IEP), operates under this public institution. UC Riverside Extension serves as the continuing and professional education division, offering courses, certificates, and programs to domestic and international students. While it functions with some self-supporting revenue models typical of extension programs, it remains part of the broader UC system, which is publicly funded. IEP at UCR provides specialized academic and language training for international learners but does not alter the public status of the parent university.
