Our standards are high, as are our expectations.

An invitation to academic exploration

We invite you to think of this catalog as your guide to a year of adventure and exploration at the University of California, Riverside, part of the world's most prestigious public research university.

In these pages you will find information that will help you plot the course of your academic journey at UCR, where you will meet and work with outstanding faculty, dedicated staff and engaging students.

With your help, UCR will also continue to build its relationships with the off-campus community, in Riverside, Southern California and beyond. UCR students have long been recognized for their contributions to community service. You can be part of that, too.

We hope that during your time here, you will grow intellectually, socially and personally, becoming wellrounded citizens of the world.

So, please join us on this journey of adventure and exploration. We look forward to seeing the contributions each of you will make to UCR, and to the greater good.

Many of the scientific and artistic accomplishments that are changing the world today are built on the research and creative endeavors of University of California faculty and students, past and present.

UCR faculty are conducting research that holds promise for halting the spread of deadly diseases, protecting California's citrus industry and finding signs of life on other planets. The achievements of these faculty members and the recognition we have received in many international rankings demonstrates the quality of the degree you will earn at UCR.
