Education has the power to transform lives.
For 60 years, this statement has been at the heart of the UC Davis Division of Continuing and Professional Education's mission.
We believe that professional education plays a vital role in building our economy, improving our community, and enriching the lives of the students we serve.
We are passionate about sharing the resources, expertise, and knowledge of UC Davis with working professionals and other adult learners around the world.
And we are committed to providing adult learners with access to the right education in the right format at the right time throughout their careers and lives.
Our History
Since we were established in 1960, UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education (then named University Extension) has been characterized by its ability to successfully adapt and evolve to meet the changing educational needs of its students and the modern workforce. Early courses were often based on the passions of the faculty who taught them and many legendary UC Davis faculty and celebrities, including Robert Arneson, Wayne Thiebaud and Martin Yan, taught for the division.
When then-governor Ronald Reagan cut funding for university-based continuing education in 1968, we became completely self-sufficient and aggressively shifted our focus to creating demand-driven programs for working professionals and their employers. We began offering programs for international students in 1977, started providing contracted training for California’s social services professionals in 1979, and launched UC Davis’ first online course in 1999.
Today, we offer more than 4,800 online and in-person classes that serve students in all 50 states and more than 100 countries. We are the third largest Extension program in the UC system and our classes on the Massive Open Online Course platform Coursera have generated nearly four million enrollments from students around the world.
This program is for bookkeepers and accounting clerks who want to advance to a higher professional level. Business owners can strengthen their businesses with best practices and compliance with current accounting standards and laws.
Students will have the opportunity to gain real-world accounting experience by participating with the VITA office, which is a student-led professional office that e-files federal and state tax returns for taxpayers free of charge.
This course examines the generally accepted accounting principles [GAAP] underlying the financial statements, their implementation in practice and the role of the independent auditors.
The curriculum includes instruction in accounting principles and theory, financial accounting, managerial accounting, cost accounting, budget control, tax accounting, legal aspects of accounting, auditing, reporting procedures, statement analysis, planning and consulting
Understanding the numbers associated with day-to-day operations is no longer just the domain of the finance and accounting departments--everyone from lower-level staff to senior managers should learn the fundamentals of the cost of the organization's product or service
