My question is a little different. Are these courses officially a part of the credit-bearing offerings of the U. of Cal.? Can one actually transfer credit from UCLA for these courses, if other lib. schools allow students to transfer credits from accredited institutions where the course is pertinent, etc.? We have a way of turning RBS-Va courses into credit-bearing courses for our students but it involves additional work, and a lot of other steps. I really wanted to know if the Ca RBS courses are actually a part of the UCLA course offerings. We're just trying to gather facts about other opportunities and we want to be sure to get our data right. Thanks much, Deirdre _____________ Deirdre C.

UCLA's MLIS program does give course credit (CALRBS class time, 40 hours in one week, is equivalent to one academic quarter), but I'm not sure about other schools. Hope this answers your question.
