| Mission | |
| School mission | UCLA offers immediate, first-year access to a virtually limitless selection of studies that only a world-class university can provide. UCLA is big, and that size is part of its essence -- allowing for unimagined diversity, unmatched breadth and depth of scholarship, and limitless possibility. UCLA offers 190 fields of study, 130 majors, and some 3,000 undergraduate courses taught by 3,800 faculty. The undergraduate experience at UCLA can begin with participation in a year-long Freshman Cluster -- a stimulating multidisciplinary exploration of a contemporary topic. Students can choose among 200 small group seminars taught by top faculty; or specialized honors courses and seminars; or conduct publishable research in close collaboration with UCLA scholars -- often as early as the freshman year. At UCLA, community service is a cornerstone of undergraduate education. Students can participate in local, state, or national programs that combine a volunteer experience with academic coursework. UCLA students benefit from merging three powerful institutional strengths -- education, research, and community service. At UCLA, 31 academic programs are ranked among the top 20 in their fields, representing all the most popular undergraduate majors. The Honors Programs provide an enriched educational experience through interdisciplinary seminars, engaging classroom presentations, individualized mentoring, and special honors courses designed to encourage and reward critical thinking. UCLA hosts more world-class art, culture, special events, and sports than most cities. By building fresh interdisciplinary collaboration, inviting new perspectives, and encouraging new ways to wonder, UCLA continues to define what a university can be. |
