Certificate Guidelines

Students enrolled in this certificate program are required to begin the program with “Introduction to Online Learning” and “Foundations of Curriculum Design and Evaluation.” These two courses set the foundation for the remaining classes in the certificate program.

All new applicants to the certificate program who choose to begin the program with any of the other courses should note this recommendation.

Although most students finish their certificate program within one year, in order to be eligible for a certificate from UC San Diego Extension, all required and elective coursework must be completed within five years of beginning a certificate program.
