Spanish term or phrase: Dirección de Extensión Universitaria
Estoy traduciendo un diploma universitario de la IBERO de español a inglés y tengo duda con el término Extensión Universitaria.
El texto dice: La Dirección de Extensión Universitaria otorgan el presente diploma...
He visto en otras preguntas que lo traducen como University Extension Department y como University Outreach, ¿hay alguna diferencia entre esos dos términos o se pueden usar igual?

Gracias por su ayuda!!

Lots of G-hits for "office of university extension" at universities within California's two public university systems, as well as elsewhere in the U.S.

Since a degree has been conferred, I wouldn't be inclined to go with 'outreach,' which might be more common for non-degree study.

I hope this helps :-)
