UCLA Extension is considered one of the top programs of its kind, offering to more than 35,000 students per year approximately 4,500 classes and non-degree certificate programs to meet the professional development, continuing education, and personal enrichment needs of the full spectrum of nontraditional students as well as companies and organizations throughout and beyond the Los Angeles region.
This course explores the sources of data used in economic studies and provides an in-depth analysis of trends, market activity, sales, lending, leasing and how research studies are conducted. Other topics include land-use studies and city planning, traffic studies, population behavior and mobility, and consumer spending and trade area. Students learn through case studies, demonstrations and class participation in the analysis of shopping center development, tract development (sales, projections and surveys), service station location, population projections, employment trends, urban renewal projects and community reuse studies.
Instructors teach students to understand the fundamentals, technical aspects, and concepts of the subject matter. More importantly they prepare students to utilize this understanding practically in the workforce. In addition to teaching proficiency in technical matters, instructors utilize case studies and real-life examples wherever possible to help students take their understanding from the pages of the textbook into the work of the real world. To accomplish this, instructors foster a collaborative, inclusive learning environment developed to support the success of all UCLA Extension students coming from a wide range of educational, personal, and professional backgrounds. We are looking for instructors who can primarily teach in-person in our Westwood or Downtown locations.
