The University of California has spent more than $4 million marketing its new online courses, but so far it’s attracting few students outside the UC system. The university began offering 14 UC-quality digital courses for college credit a year ago, aiming to generate new revenue by enrolling students worldwide. The San Francisco Chronicle reports 1,700 UC students have taken the online courses, but only one not already enrolled in the UC system: a high-school girl who paid $1,400 for a pre-calculus class. Four more non-UC students signed up Monday. UC Online’s interim director, Keith Williams, said its $4.3 million marketing effort is “taking longer than we’d hoped.”
