Message from the Director

Welcome from the Director –
Our Promise to You.

Dear Students & Prospective Students,

Welcome to SF State Extended Learning. It has not gone unnoticed that the times are challenging in many ways. As the state of California is struggling to contain a significant budget deficit and cuts have been made in almost all areas of state services, the CSU system has also been drastically affected. You and your workplace may likely have been affected by the recession as well.

Our promise to you is never to forget why we are here: To serve you. To extend the services of San Francisco State University deep into the professional community and allow you to access high quality academic and professional development programs conveniently and affordably.

In a challenging and highly competitive employment market, professional certifications and qualifications will help you distinguish yourself from the crowd. Not only will you make valuable industry connections through a network of expert instructors, you will learn relevant, immediately applicable skills employers are looking for. By investing in further education, you show that you take responsibility for yourself and take initiative, rather than let the odds play out as they may.

We encourage you to turn this challenge into opportunity, and we are here to assist you. Please contact us to discuss how we can help you develop your skills to have the highest impact.

Kind Regards,
Jim Bryan
Director
