From the Institution

A member of the prestigious University of California system, UC Riverside (UCR) continues to set the standard for the modern research university. With more than 26,000 students and 1,150 faculty - including two Nobel Prize winners and 13 members of the National Academies of Science and Medicine - we are pioneering research with economic, scientific, and social impact on the real-world challenges we face in California and beyond. Boasting high academic standards in a highly supportive and inclusive environment, UCR offers over 100 undergraduate programs and over 50 academic and professional graduate programs that challenge and prepare students through transformative, real-world applications. Few campuses in the country can match UCR's combination of student success, diversity, and research excellence. UCR stands as a national model for student success, with a long record of closing achievement gaps across income levels and ethnicities. Our undergraduate and graduate students come from more than 80 different countries and more than 40 U.S. states and territories. More than half of UCR undergraduates are first in their families to earn college degrees, and UCR enrolls a higher percentage of undergraduates who receive need-based federal Pell grants than nearly any other research university in the country. One of the nation's most diverse universities, UCR was the first campus to have a professionally staffed Black student resource center, the first UC campus to open an office focused on serving Native American students, and the first public university to offer a gender-neutral housing option to all students. As the only public research university in Inland Southern California, UCR is on the leading edge of pioneering research that has both a local and global impact. Researchers at UCR are discovering new ways to detect and treat cancer faster, farm more efficiently, make batteries last longer, and analyze how people can achieve greater well-being. Undergraduate students have the opportunity to participate in research projects and creative work alongside award-winning faculty.
