Dean's Message

Welcome to the Division of Continuing Education and UCLA Extension

We believe deeply in the transformative power of education and are committed to UCLA’s teaching, research, and service mission.

UCLA Extension has a rich history dating back more than 100 years—1917 to be exact—when it took root in downtown Los Angeles before UCLA was founded in 1919.

Dean Eric Bullard, UCLA Extension

As educational pioneers, continuing educators from UCLA Extension have for more than a century developed and launched bold new programs and classes to meet the educational needs of Angelenos, Californians and the world population alike. We are thought leaders and educational innovators who are invested in the future of our society.

Our program and class designs bridge theory to practice, providing a powerful educational experience that is uniquely grounded in applied learning. UCLA Extension instructors are leading experts in their fields, and they are equipped with the latest tools and research to help our students and partners succeed and thrive.

Whether you are interested in enriching your life, tackling social issues, or seeking career mobility or transition, UCLA Extension is here for you. Offering classes in online, hybrid, and face-to-face modalities, wherever you find yourself in the world, UCLA Extension is your lifelong educational partner. We deliver individuals and organizations access to world-class education from a leading public research university in the United States.

As the dean of Continuing Education and UCLA Extension, I invite you to explore our many programs and classes, join us at events, or simply reach out to connect with us.

Sincerely,

Eric A. Bullard, Ph.D.
