What to Expect from Online Learning
UCLA Extension’s online programs are designed to be convenient while still providing a high-quality, rigorous academic experience. Courses may use different formats:
- Online (Asynchronous): Content is delivered through an online platform (like Canvas), and you can access materials and complete assignments on your own schedule.
- Live Online (Synchronous): All class meetings are scheduled and held in real-time using tools like Zoom, allowing for live interaction with your instructor and classmates.
- Hybrid: A blend of online and/or live-online instruction.7 If you are looking for a fully online certificate, make sure the individual courses you choose do not require any in-person sessions.
Be sure to check the specific course format details when you enroll to ensure your entire certificate can be completed remotely.
If the program you are interested in is not available on this page, it means that the program has in-person components that will require you to be in the Los Angeles area.
