Quote of the week:

"I was your student at UCSC. I now have my first real marketing job thanks to you and UCSC and I am saying thanks!!! Love it"

And here is another recent quote from one of the students:

"I really enjoyed the open format that is offered in most of the marketing courses. They focus on learning through a combination of methods, such as interactive debates, practical term papers, in-class presentations, team projects, and real examples. This program offers students many years of real work experience on the part of its instructors. Athol Foden, Michael Savod, Billie Shepard, Kathy Keenan, and others have had a tremendous influence in reshaping my career and personal goals. I also really enjoyed the professional and cultural diversity among the students. UCSC Extension has been a great place for me to learn, to network, and to plot a new course in my career path. Thank you!"
