WELCOME TO
THE NEW
SAN FRANCISCO
CAMPUS
A Message From the Dean
Welcome to the New San Francisco Campus!
As you can tell from the pictures in the front of the catalog, we have fully moved in to our new
San Francisco Campus at 160 Spear St. We’re excited about the new neighborhood and looking
forward to seeing you there this year! UC Berkeley Extension Facilities Director Mary Anne Hallacy
worked incredibly hard to ensure that this new location would be wonderful, and from the high-tech
classrooms to the onsite amenities, she got the details just right. You are sure to be inspired taking
classes at the new center, whether you’re studying facilities management, accounting or digital
photography.
New this spring are recently expanded offerings in semiconductor technology. Review these new
programs on pp. 182–185. You can use the knowledge learned in these courses—as well as our well-
established certificates and programs—to enhance your skill set or to develop new talents to take your
career in a different direction. We’re here to help you meet all of your educational goals.
For many people, learning more about new topics is one of those goals. Throughout the year, we offer
free and low-cost events that introduce you to innovative ideas and cutting-edge research in a variety
of fields. One spring event outlines the current state of osteopathic medicine whereas another explores
small-business funding and marketing. And if you’re interested in writing, instructor Catherine Hollis
leads a three-meeting reading group that commences in January. See p. 6 for the complete list, and
browse the catalog to see more expanded descriptions.
Our mission to educate the community has never been more relevant or rewarding. Visit us in Berkeley,
Belmont, online or in our new San Francisco Campus. Whether you come for an evening or become an
ongoing student, we welcome you to UC Berkeley Extension.

Harsha Nagaraju believes that engineering and
marketing are key to a technology company’s
success. With more than eight years of engineering
experience to his credit, Nagaraju has a keen interest
in learning the marketing portion of that equation.
UC Berkeley Extension’s Business courses provide
Nagaraju the exposure and knowledge to
succeed as the strategic marketing
manager at Micron Technology.
“Taking the Marketing Strategies
for Entrepreneurs and Small
Business Owners course was a
big factor in getting that job,”
Nagaraju says. “To make the
transition from engineering
to marketing, most places
require an M.B.A. or
some formal education
in the marketing field.
That course gave me
enough information
to talk intelligently in
my interview, and the
interview panel was
impressed with my
project that I did for the
course. My instructor,
Kathryn Gorges,
recommended me for
the job.”
In the midst of applying
to the UC Berkeley Haas
School of Business, Nagaraju
continues to take courses
at Extension.

FREE AND LOW-COST EVENTS
at Extension You’re invited to attend any or all of our spring events for the general
public. This is your chance to learn more about intriguing and
important topics and to get better acquainted with brilliant thinkers
and Bay Area luminaries.
Reserve your place today at extension.berkeley.edu.
The Digital Publishing Landscape
UNEX 1266
Everyone designing websites and publications needs to know how to design
directly on their computers using interactive software, which can be shared
with others. This lecture by Diane Burns, internationally recognized graphic
designer, describes the differences between interactive PDFs, reflowable
ePubs, fixed-layout ePubs and tablet apps and helps you keep up to date with
the fast pace of the design industry.
See p. 18 for complete details.
Your Brain on Drugs: Novel Clinical Implications
UNEX 1262
Get an introduction to the latest scientific findings on addiction’s effect
on the brain in an incisive talk by UC Berkeley professor Mark D’Esposito.
Understand how certain circuits in the brain that normally guide goal-
directed behavior are malfunctioning in the throes of addiction through a
slideshow that depicts recent brain-scanning techniques. Dr. D’Esposito also
explains novel cognitive and pharmacological treatments in clinical settings.
Are Your Ready to Fund and Market
Your Small Business?
UNEX 1263
Are you starting or growing a small business? In this public lecture, which
focuses on women entrepreneurs and women-owned businesses, you learn
about alternatives to traditional funding sources, such as crowdfunding and
peer-to-peer lending. Explore whether your social media strategy is ready for
business reality. Understand why having an effective social media presence is
an important element of success for today’s small businesses.
Why Use a Private Professional Fiduciary?
UNEX 1269
Review the role of private professional fiduciaries and how they are playing an
increasingly important role in society. Recent studies project that the number
of older people in California (those age 65 and older) will nearly double by
2030, from 4.3 million in 2010 to 6.12 million in 2020 and 8.4 million in 2030. In
today’s economy and society, family members can no longer be automatically
expected to serve an elder when the inevitable crisis occurs due to either living
far away or having their own busy lives and financial restraints. Nor do family
members necessarily have adequate formal training and experience in the
areas of tax, legal, financial and medical decisions.
Berkeley Reads!
UNEX 1264
Go back to school with UC Berkeley Extension instructor Catherine Hollis, who
leads a guided reading and discussion of award-winning works of fiction and
nonfiction over the span of three meetings. Hollis also discusses the history
and politics of literary awards, best-of lists, and reading groups to examine the
marketing and consumption of contemporary literary fiction and nonfiction.
Selected texts for spring 2015 are:
Katherine Boo, Beyond the Beautiful Forevers (Random House Trade
Paperbacks, 2014)
Louise Erdrich, The Round House (Harper Perennial, 2013)
Osteopathic Medicine: Myths and Realities
UNEX 1270
Get an in-depth look into the field of osteopathic medicine from nationally
recognized medical expert Gina Moses, M.Ed. She addresses the nuances of
osteopathic medical education and how that differs from allopathic medicine.
Moses also highlights the growing need for medical practitioners in the United
States and how physicians trained in osteopathic medicine are helping to ease
the shortage of health care professionals as the number of students gradu-
ating from these institutions has risen dramatically during the past decade.
18th-Annual Student Reading Series

works of poetry, nonfiction and fiction at these annual reading events in May.

Bernice Layne Brown Gallery, Doe Library
Through Feb. 28, 2015
From junior high school hygiene films to websites, public health campaigns,
scientific studies, children’s books, bodice-ripper novels and (sometimes)
parents, Americans have always found ways to learn about sex. This exhibit

explore sex education and the larger political or moral agendas involved.

Sometimes a degree isn’t enough. For Samantha Edwards,
the Certificate Program in Landscape Architecture is
the perfect complement to her B.S. in landscape design.
Learning about the certificate through a former co-worker,
who also completed the certificate, Edwards credits the
curriculum in helping her find her niche: horticulture, as
well as new skills to develop her horticultural focus.
“It’s also given me a lot more confidence on the
hardscape side,” she adds. “Before, I never
really knew that I could design fabulous
outdoor hardscape structures. With
the model making, exploration tools
and studios, the courses gave me
the confidence to experiment with
hardscape items. The instructors
helped me tap into this information
that was in me all along.”
With certificate in hand, Edwards is
beginning the next leg of her career
at Del Conte Landscaping (Fremont,
Calif.), focusing on landscape design
and sales. Combining knowledge
from the B.S. and the certificate,
Edwards is excited about her
future. “A lot of my classes at
Extension were wonderfully
exaggerated forms of my
undergrad classes—more
detail-oriented,” she says.
“The instructors do a really
good job of enveloping the
students in as much practical
knowledge as they can. It was
just what I needed.”

HISTART X442 • 2 semester units in Art History
A requirement in the Post-Baccalaureate
Certificate in Visual Arts
Contemporary art’s succession of contending,
and often conflicting, ideas and styles challenges
those who view art as a mode of self-expression
that nevertheless manages to be generally
accessible. Examine the radical vision that drove
disparate contemporary movements such as
pop, minimalism and conceptualism. Explore how
forms such as performance, body and land art
expanded the concept of what it means to create
fine art. You ultimately gain an understanding of
the impulses, interests and innovations that have
driven the art world from the middle of the 20th
century to the present.
