The University of California San Diego Extension serves over 40,000 students per year, and now they’re looking to up their ante. The newest UCSD Extension site in Mission Valley will commence the first session of classes and programs this August.

The campus is located at 404 Camino Del Rio South, strategically placed at the intersection of the 163 and 8 freeways, and offers more than 6,300 square feet of classroom space, along with wireless internet access, free parking, and close proximity to San Diego International Airport. It will primarily serve the interests of those seeking educated in health-related disciplines.

“The new UCSD Extension center in Mission Valley is at a convergence of many of the region’s premiere healthcare organizations,” says Grace Miller, director of health delivery education at UCSD Extension. “A continuum of classes in disciplines such as emergency nursing and healthcare leadership will be more accessible to institutions such as UCSD Medical Center, Scripps, Sharp, Kaiser, and an array of nearby clinics.”
