It's a different educational world at University Extension, where CEOs, professionals and career-changers of every stripe attend classes, seminars and workshops that focus on building career-related knowledge and skills.įrom professional brewing and winemaking to business, land use and information technology, Unex - as it's commonly known on campus - had more than 80,000 enrollments in 1999 through both open-enrollment courses (those available to the general public) and customized contract training brought on-site to schools, businesses and organizations. But just around the corner from campus at University Extension, students sport a different look: business suit, well-worn Daytimer in one hand, perhaps some graying hair. When you think about the typical student at UC Davis, you might envision a 20-year-old kid heading off to class with a backpack slung over one shoulder.
