Welcome from our AVP

Welcome to University Extension at Cal State East Bay

Our work is deeply embedded in the university’s mission—and essential to its future. Whether you're a working adult, a returning student, a faculty partner, or a regional employer, University Extension is here to connect learning with opportunity.

We serve as Cal State East Bay’s bridge to the region and the world—offering Professional and Continuing Education (PaCE), Offsite Programs, and International Programs. Through flexible, career-focused learning pathways, we meet the needs of students at every stage of life.

We offer more than courses—we offer pathways. Through stackable credentials, flexible formats, and community partnerships, we are building bridges to career mobility, lifelong learning, and regional economic resilience.

Our team is focused on relevance, access, and innovation. And we’re doing this work in deep collaboration—with our campus, our community, and with you.

We invite you to explore, to partner, and to help us shape what comes next.

Warmly,
Balvinder Kumar
Interim Associate Vice President, University Extension
