UC Irvine Extension

Does any degreeinfo forum members have any experience with UC Irvine Extension? I recently signed up for a search engine optimization class and wanted to know about the quality of their courses.

I dropped my RWU classes because I've decided to transfer to Troy. I needed something to hold me over until then and decided to go with UC Irvine.

 

UC Irvine has an excellent reputation for its B&M programs. Never taken their extension courses though. I would assume they wouldn't want to damage their brand and would offer up a decent education. Let us know.

 

I'll keep you guys posted.

The class starts at the end of the month and I'm ready to roll. I swear not taking a class is the worst. I got the shakes!

 

I passed two excellent extension courses via UC-Berkeley. The professors were great.

 

And I passed several extension courses at UCR - very easy but also extremely interesting.

 

Thanks guys for the replies.

I noticed that my class is worth 3 units. I'm hoping those are credits and not CEUs.

 

Ever since UC Berkley's (?) self-absorbed blah-blah about their first online undergraduate degree actually meeting on-campus standards, I would give a dime to the UC. But I'm also boycotting Verizon and Toyota because their commercials are annoying. (I drive a Mazda and have an AT&T phone, so I doubt they'll be very impressed...)

I'm sure the classes are good though.

 

I believe they are quarter units (3 QU = 2 semester units).

 

I can't find this degree. Can you provide a link?
Thanks

 

Thanks! I was thinking that.

 

Ian:

It's not offered yet. Here is the original (?) article: UC online degree proposal rattles academics - SFGate

There are some pretty biting remarks, I believe on e-learning pundit. There was also a discussion on this board.

 

I'm really enjoying my UC Irvine class so far. The assignments aren't that difficult, but the amount of information the professors give out is insane.

I plan on doing a full review when I’m done.

 

And you don't think the Mazda "Zoom, Zoom" commercials are annoying too? :smile: Mazda is a good car, I used to have one.

 

Sorry to hijack there before. I'm interested in this thread because my daughter is considering enrolling at UCI.

 

Any of the UC schools would be a good choice - what does she plan to major in?

 

Education, most likely. She is also looking into nursing, but I think she favors teaching. I've been trying to warn her that getting a job as a teacher is very difficult these days. I don't know if UCI offers anything in nursing, although I would assume it does.

 

I took a simulation & Modelling course through UCI, and then found out it was not transferrable even to UCI.
