The Most Empowering Academic Community There Is

At UC Riverside, learning happens both inside and outside of the classroom. An education here is rooted in dozens of exceptional major programs, led by extraordinary faculty members whose aim is to support and empower our students. Within all majors, students and faculty, alike, don’t just answer problems — they create meaningful solutions with the potential to impact the world.

Because at UCR, we don’t simply provide our students with an education. We give them an experience. As one of the top 1.3% of universities worldwide, according to the Center for World University Rankings, we cultivate brilliant minds for new ways of thinking, doing, and achieving. Our undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs are designed to help our multicultural student population broaden their perspectives and challenge the status quo.
