Description
A new education program that enriches Latino students is getting high marks.
Mi Universidad is in its first year at UC San Diego’s Division of Extended Studies. The free program offers 14 courses from the arts to sciences.
“That's what I am looking for to work in this country is to be an actor,” said Luis Prado.
He is one of 900 students going through the program. Every day Prado commutes from across the border to achieve his dream of becoming an actor in Hollywood or on Broadway.
“Without sacrifice, there's no victory. I believe that every time I get home late and I'm going to be tired, but it was worth it,” said Prado.
He is part of the new UC San Diego’s Division of Extended Studies Mi Universidad program that offers free Spanish-speaking courses to all adult Latino students, and they earn college credits.
