UNIVERSIT Y OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO EXTENSION
University and Professional Studies (UPS) 2015
The UPS program is an opportunity for international students
with strong academic preparation who would like to take a
full-time schedule of credit-bearing courses at UC San Diego
or UC San Diego Extension while studying alongside American
university students. Universities in many countries count
these credits towards their own bachelor’s or master’s degree
programs. Transferability is at the discretion of the home
university and must be verified in advance by the student.
The UPS program is also suitable for working professionals
who wish to improve their knowledge to help them stay
current with industry trends and changes.
It is very important that students be flexible in their course
selection and include with their application for enrollment a
list of 12 or more courses per quarter that they would like to
take at UC San Diego. Enrollment in all classes is on a spaceavailable basis and requires instructor and/or departmental
approval after the student arrives. If there are no available
spaces, the instructor may require that the student wait
several days to see if any other students drop the class before
enrolling a UPS student.
It is especially difficult to get enrollment approvals for firstchoice classes in our prestigious Economics department.
For a complete list of all UC San Diego courses please see
tritonlink.ucsd.edu. For a list of UC San Diego Extension
course offerings please see: extension.ucsd.edu.
