Please Note

In the interest of streamlining our program offerings, the previously separate courses, Black Belt I and Black Belt II, have been combined into a new course: Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Thus, this program now consists of two courses instead of three.

For students who declared candidacy before Winter 2026, if you still need to take either Black Belt I or Black Belt II to complete the program, taking the new Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course will satisfy this requirement. Please be sure to notify the Engineering and Project Management Department to ensure that the substitution is applied.

If you have not yet taken either Black Belt I or Black Belt II, please contact the Engineering and Project Management Department to change your program to the new two-course format. You will then need to complete the new combined Black Belt course as part of the required courses.

Contact a program advisor at et@uclaextension.edu or 310-825-4100.
