Founded in 1891, UC Berkeley Extension is the continuing education branch of the University of California, Berkeley. Today, Extension offers more than 2,000 courses each year, including online courses, along with more than 70 professional certificates, plus many specialized programs of study.

We empower individual learners of every generation to realize their educational and career goals by providing access to UC Berkeley's network of instructors, experts and professionals; creating rich learning experiences to develop skill sets and critical minds; and motivating our students to be the change they want to see.

Free and low-cost public events are also frequently held as part of Extension’s service to the local community.
