About our Programs



The Center for International Programs is your connection to the University of California. For over 32 years, we've trained students and professionals from Japan, Germany, Korea, Chile, Mexico, Italy, Uzbekistan, Ivory Coast, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, and many other countries.

Over the years, thousands of students and working professionals have come to UC Davis Extension to improve their English language skills, enhance their knowledge of international law, learn about U.S. business practices and explore a whole host of other topics.
