| School mission: | UC Riverside is a living laboratory for groundbreaking exploration of issues critical to Inland Southern California, the state and communities around the world. Reflecting California's diverse culture, UCR's enrollment of about 17,000 is projected to grow to 25,000 students by 2020. One of 10 universities within the prestigious University of California system, UCR has a history of giving first-generation college-goers a jump-start toward achieving their dreams, enabling social and economic mobility. We inspire our students to expand their horizons, and we equip them to succeed. Whether they're aiming for graduate or professional school or they plan a career after college, UCR is the right place to help students achieve their goals. With an annual statewide economic impact of nearly $1 billion, UCR is actively shaping the region's future. Our recently opened satellite in Palm Desert includes an innovative entrepreneurial MBA, and graduate programs in the arts. Plans include opening a medical school that will bring a higher level of care to our community and carry UCR's tradition of applicable innovation into the realm of health care. More than just a place of discovery, we've earned a reputation for translating fundamental knowledge into actionable solutions. By applying our distinct strengths and advantages strategically, we carry forward the UC system's tradition of public service. Whether in entomology, engineering, or new voices in literature, UCR is contributing to the wider world. |
