One higher education listing operates inside Hillcrest's 92103 ZIP code, a specialized TESOL teaching college — the major San Diego universities sit outside Hillcrest in La Jolla, Mission Valley, and Point Loma.
Global Tesol College offers TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) certification programs for students training to teach English abroad or in domestic ESL classrooms. The college is one of several TESOL certification providers operating in the Hillcrest area and serves students preparing for teaching placements in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Hillcrest's central location makes it practical for students who don't want to commute to one of the larger San Diego university campuses during intensive certification coursework.
Hillcrest's higher education subcategory is small because the major San Diego universities — UC San Diego in La Jolla, San Diego State in College Area, and the University of San Diego in Linda Vista — all sit outside the 92103 ZIP code. Hillcrest residents studying at those institutions commute out of the neighborhood for classes. The broader education category of 37 listings includes adult education, tutoring and test prep, and K-12 options. Students at UC San Diego typically live or study in La Jolla.
