YOUSEF ALSHAMMARI SAUDI ARABIA

Before I came to the UC San Diego English Language Institute, I was very weak in writing and grammar. However, I can confidently say that my writing has improved dramatically and I received a high score on the TOEFL. My teachers were very creative and knowledgeable. It may sound strange, but I always looked forward to my grammar class because of the fun activities we did. I recommend the ELI to students who are serious about their education and want to take their English skills to the next level.

CONVERSATION LEADERS

ELI students practice speaking English with American UC San Diego students and members of the local community in our Conversation classes. Conversation Leaders actively participate in several hours of class during the 4-week Conversation program, 4-week Conversation and Fluency program, and elective Conversation classes in many of our 8-week programs. Our ELI students can also practice speaking English with Conversation Leaders during Conversation Cafés, which are held frequently.

ADVISORY ABOUT VARIABLE ENROLLMENTS

Enrollment numbers in our Academic, Conversation, and Conversation and Fluency programs vary greatly from month to month. If our placement tests indicate that a student’s English proficiency level does not permit placement in the original 4-week program class, we may place the student in 4 weeks of study in a corresponding 8-week program, or we may provide a combination of classes to ensure a full-time program of 20 hours per week (or 10 hours per week if the student is enrolled in the part-time Conversation program) for 4 weeks. Alternatively, we may decide to place all 4-week program students in level-appropriate classes in a corresponding 8-week program of 20 hours per week for 4 weeks. When this happens, the students’ 4-week program will have the features described for the new 8-week program, not the features described for the original program. The hours, tuition, and fees for the students’ 4-week program will remain the same.

One of my goals for the future is to work as a doctor in the U.S. The Medical English program has helped me come closer to achieving this goal. Through this course, I learned about America’s medical services in-person. For example, many health care providers were guest speakers in the program and we also visited several hospitals in San Diego on field trips. I loved the atmosphere at UC San Diego Extension International Programs, especially in my Medical English classes.

DIEGO PINEDA YON PERU

UC San Diego has many factors that make me feel comfortable, including the quality of the teachers. All my teachers show a great understanding of their job and they transmit information to the students successfully. The campus also has many green areas that I find relaxing and beautiful. However, my most enjoyable experience at UC San Diego was making friends and practicing speaking English as much as I could with my new friends. Getting to know people from around the world was the best experience I’ve ever had−just incredible.

The Intensive Legal English program was extremely important for my career. It prepared me to apply for law school and pursue a master degree in Comparative Law. It really helped me improve my English skills and also provided me with a necessary overview of the most important topics of American Law. I am currently attending the University of San Diego (USD) School of Law and working on my LLM in Comparative Law. After graduation, I plan to sit for the California Bar, so I will be licensed to practice law here.

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 a California community college (after two years of study) into the third year at UC San Diego. In recent years over 90% of UC San Diego transfer students come from California community colleges. This is the best pathway to undergraduate UC San Diego admission for most international students. For more information on undergraduate admission to UC San Diego, visit: admissions.ucsd.edu/international.

Students interested in taking UC San Diego or Extension courses should see the IPU program (page 12), the UPA program (page 12), or the UPS program (page 14). For more information about professional certificates for international students, please see the Business Certificate programs (pages 17-21) or the TEFL Certificate programs (pages 22-23).

Only the top 12.5% of California high school students are eligible for entry, but a much smaller percentage is accepted. universityofcalifornia.edu The California State University has 23 campuses, over 479,000 students, and is much more inclusive than the University of California system. The top 25% of California high school students are eligible for entry. calstate.edu The California Community Colleges has 113 campuses, over 2.1 million students, and provides the first two years of college education only. Students spend their first two years at a community college and then transfer to one of the campuses of the University of California or California State University, to complete their last two years of undergraduate study. cccco.edu

I have had so many positive experiences at UC San Diego. I am attending interesting, relevant courses for my Master’s degree in Documentary Journalism, and learning from inspiring, passionate professors. The campus is large and beautiful (with a more tropical environment than I am used to) and has a lot of fun activities for students to join in their free time.

FELIPE CORREA MAAL COLOMBIA

After completing a Quantitative Finance Masters at Rutgers University, my goal was to achieve a well-rounded, more comprehensive professional profile that would build on my Quantitative Finance background by expanding my spectrum of knowledge within real world business applications. UC San Diego helped me achieve these goals through both their Project Management Program and their Business Management Program. Whether it is finance, business, accounting, or project management, the certificates I’ve taken at UC San Diego have truly increased the value I can provide to a company as well as to any enterprise I choose.

The teachers were definitely my favorite part of my experience at UC San Diego’s English Language Institute. I was motivated by their commitment and passion for teaching. By taking the TEYL certificate, I acquired more teaching techniques, skills, and practice in teaching young students in the early stages of learning English. I now teach English to 4th and 5th grade girls at a school back home in Santiago.
