Murilo AmaralBRAzIl

In the University Preparation Academy(UPA), I developed specific skills that will be

imperative during my MBA program. This

preparation will make a positive impact in

my performance and confidence, because

when the MBA classes begin I will be

focusing on learning my field and not on

adapting to the American university culture

and study skills requirements. My main

professor in the UPA program is not only the

most prepared teacher I have had, but also

the one that has helped me the most in the

tough process of preparing for success in amasters program. In addition to studying, I

had an amazing experience taking part in a

5K running course through the UC San Diego

campus. It was a full-moon night and all the

buildings were beautifully illuminated. The

view and the environment were fantastic

and I had an exhilarating time.

Wataru HorinouchiJAPAN

Im a pharmaceutical student and one of my

goals is to be able to discuss medical issues

in English. In that regard, Medical English

was extremely helpful to me. Not only did

it provide me with basic medical knowledge

and vocabulary, but also deep insights on

a lot of medical topics, such as health care

programs of several countries, the most

common diseases in several countries,

and so on. Only a few English Language

Institutes have this course and I am certain

I made the best choice among them.

My teacher was the best.

UC San Diego is an excellent university, andI like the environment. I feel very relaxed,

comfortable, and happy here. The teachers

are wonderful.

WORk ExPERIENCE: OPTIONAl PRACTICAl TRAININg (OPT)After one academic year (three consecutive quarters) of full-time study in a non-language program inthe United States, students can apply for permission to work up to 12 months in their field of studyas a practical application of what they have learned. This is called Optional Practical Training (OPT).

The International Student Services (ISS) staff will assist students with their application for OPT. The ISSstaff has a very high success rate with OPT applications. They cannot, however, guarantee the approval

of the application by the U.S. government.Please note that the International Student Services staff does not assist with job search orjob placement services.

APPLYING FOR UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION TO UC SAN DIEGO

It is difficult to enter UC San Diego as a foreign student in the first year. It is much easier to transfer from aCalifornia community college (after two years of study) into the third year at UC San Diego. In recent years

over 90% of transfer students come from California community colleges. This is the best pathway to under-

graduate UC San Diego admission for most international students.

For more information on undergraduate admission to UC San Diego, visit internationaladmissions.ucsd.edu.

Students interested in taking UC San Diego or Extension courses should see the University Preparation Academy

(page 9), the UPS program (pages 14-15), Business Certificate programs (pages 17-21), or the TEFL Certificate

programs (pages 22-23).

BUSINESS MANAgEMENT

PROjECT MANAgEMENT

These business programs are designed specifically to add breadth and depth to your

existing knowledge and skills and help you achieve your professional goals.

Starting in 2015, the business department is pleased to offer four programs:

The popular Business Management andBusiness Essentialscertificate programs offer students theopportunity to build job skills and knowledge or to prepare for graduate studies through an extensive

introduction to U.S. business practices. To complement the classroom experience, internships are incorporated

into both of these business programs, allowing each student the opportunity to apply what is learned in an

American workplace and gain a competitive edge in the global job market.

Given the increased demand for project managers worldwide, the business department offers an intensive

certificate program in Project Managementthat can be completed in two quarters.

Intermediate Business Essentials, is designed for the student who has earned a Bachelors degree and

possesses a high-level proficiency in English. This post-baccalaureate, enriched business training option

consists of one, two or three quarters of study.

All Business Certificate Programs

1. Can I apply withoutall the requireddocuments?

No. You will need to wait to apply until you have all the required documents. The only exceptionis if you have all the required

documents except the language score AND you are currently attending the UC San Diego Extension English Language Institute (ELI).

Only students who attend UCSD-ELI can apply for conditional acceptance to the business certificate programs.

2. What is conditionalacceptance?

It means you are provisionally accepted based on all requirements except for the language score. This is strictly for students currently

attending a 10-week English language program at UC San Diego Extension ELI. An acceptable language score is still required before you

will be fully accepted.

3. Is there a deadlineto apply?

Given the popularity of the programs, it is recommended to submit the application FIVE months in advance for the Business Essentials

program and THREE months in advance for the other business programs. Admission is competitive, and not all applicants are admitted

to the program. NO APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED WITHIN THE FINAL TEN DAYS BEFORE A PROGRAMS START-DATE.

4. Is a car required? Yes, access to a car or other reliable transportation is required, as some classes (day and/or evening) are located at the off-campusUC San Diego Extension facility (University City Center), which has very limited or no public transportation.

5. Can I add an extraquarter after I arrive?

Yes; however, if the student requests and is approved for a longer program, the student must pay a $500 USD Business Program

Extension fee, plus any additional tuition required for the longer program. However, if the student requests and is approved for a longer

program during the first week of classes in his/her first quarter, the Business Department will waive the $500 Program Extension fee.

then these business programs are just what youneed to acquire the expertise necessary toadvance in your career.
