Credit and noncredit courses are offered in nearly every academic discipline, in many interdisciplinary areas, and in emerging fields including, Arts, Business and Management, Computer & Information Systems, Design Communication Arts, Education, Engineering & Technical Management, ESL, Entertainment Studies, Fitness Instruction, Humanities, Sciences & Social Sciences, Journalism/PR/Fundraising, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UCLA, Public Policy, Writing and more.

In addition, Extension offers special programs each term on topical issues as well as those of ongoing public concern. Many noncredit Extension courses offer the opportunity to earn Continuing Education Units, widely used for relicensure and other professional/career-related purposes.

Although registering for Extension courses does not constitute admission to regular session, degree credit earned through Extension may apply toward the UCLA bachelor's or master's degree; consult a College or school counselor or graduate adviser before enrolling.
