A history to be proud of
UC Davis Extension has come a long way since 1960 when we first began offering courses to the general public in a small range of subjects including: education, liberal arts and leisure time activities like beachcombing and batiking. We have grown into the Sacramento region's best and most extensive provider of continuing education with hundreds of courses each quarter in more than 75 different subjects.
