Spelling & Phrasing

  • UCSC Silicon Valley Professional Education on the first mention.
  • University of California, Santa Cruz - Silicon Valley Professional Education is preferable for international reference.
  • UCSC Silicon Valley Extension
  • UCSC Silicon Valley Campus is a broader term referring to the facility itself and includes several UC Santa Cruz engineering master’s programs that are not part of Extension.
  • “the professional education arm of UC Santa Cruz”

Note: The letters of the acronym “UCSC” are easily transposed and confused with other institutions. Also “University of California, Santa Cruz,” is sometimes erroneously truncated incorrectly to “University of Santa Cruz.” Please use “UC Santa Cruz in this instance.”
