University Credit Programs

University Credit Programs

Our University Credit Programs are short-term study abroad programs which offer a great opportunity to study alongside UC San Diego university students and take a full-time schedule of credit-bearing courses at UC San Diego or UC San Diego Extension. Universities in many countries count these credits towards their own degree programs. (Transferability is at the discretion of the home university.) These programs are for students with strong academic preparation and strong English language skills.

University & Professional Studies

This is a short-term study abroad program which enables non-admitted international students to attend a full-time program of regular UC San Diego or UC San Diego Extension courses. (UC San Diego courses are not available in this program during the summer. Instead, students can enroll in university classes through UC San Diego Summer Session.)
