UCSC offers world-class education, training, and career-path-development
opportunities in Silicon Valley through graduate and, eventually,
undergraduate programs in information technology management,
engineering, and international business.
In a unique intersegmental
approach to education, UCSC, San Jose State University, and Foothill–De
Anza Community Colleges are cooperating to educate the workforce of the
future.
Among the current academic program initiatives:
- Summer Session courses at the Silicon
Valley Center
UC Santa Cruz is offering Summer Session courses at its Silicon Valley Center at NASA Ames in
Mountain View. Tentative courses include:
- Economics 100A (Intermediate Microeconomics)
- Economics 100B (Intermediate Macroeconomics)
- Environmental Studies 172 (Science, Policy, and the Environment)
- Linguistics for Engineers (course number not yet assigned)
- Psychology 170 (Abnormal Psychology)
In addition, students may enroll in the following courses from UCSC’s Baskin School of
Engineering and attend lectures at the Silicon Valley Center:
- Computer Engineering 16, Applied Discrete Mathematics

- Knowledge
Services and Enterprise Management (KSEM)
KSEM is a new interdisciplinary graduate certificate program from UCSC Extension
(www.ucsc-extension.edu) at the UCSC Silicon
Valley Campus in cooperation with the Baskin School of Engineering. KSEM studies
the application of information technology (in general) and knowledge services (in particular)
to the management of high tech enterprises (and other complex systems), synthesizing ideas
from fields such as computer science, economics, and business management, and extending these
to address challenges faced in today's global and knowledge-based economy.
-
Network Engineering
The master's degree in computer engineering with an emphasis in network engineering
program is designed to educate engineers and technical professionals to enter
and practice the highly specialized field of network engineering. Designed
for working engineers who have earned a bachelor of science or higher degree in
electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering or a related technical
discipline, the program begins with a set of core and foundation courses and
continues with a set of elective courses focused on advanced topics to allow
students to build expertise in specific areas.
-
Technology and
Information Management (TIM)
Students in TIM will work on innovative projects with a major impact
on industry development; research thrusts include management of
high-tech including information technology, new product development,
network management, stochastic optimization in enterprise
management, financial engineering, knowledge management, e-business,
supply chain management, multi-agent systems, mechanism design, data
warehousing and data mining, and decision support systems.
-
School of Management (SOM)
Currently in the planning stage, a faculty steering committee
has been asked to consider the intellectual focus of a UCSC School
of Management. In making their recommendations, SOM committee
members have been asked to assess the emerging international trends
in management education and research, the needs of the Bay Area in
the field of management education, and the ways the campus can best
contribute to professional management education in its broadest
sense.
