BERKELEY, Calif.--(AP)--UC Berkeley Extension has announced that select courses in the accredited Certificate Program in Human Resource Management and in the Certificate Program in Marketing will be fully taught in Spanish to address the growing number of Spanish-speaking learners. Available completely online, these select courses will be adapted from their English-language equivalents and will begin September 2018. More courses will be added in Spring 2019.

"Universities are aware that they must adapt to the new economic and social realities, and that is why UC Berkeley Extension has decided to go a step further and offer these classes to Spanish-speaking countries," said UC Berkeley Extension Dean Diana Wu.

To carry out this innovative project, UC Berkeley Extension has partnered with Global Alumni, a Spanish-American Edtech company that specializes in providing high-quality e-learning services. Global Alumni’s methodology improves students’ e-learning experience in various aspects, such as content design, academic support and delivery.
