Graduate Studies at UCI

As a graduate student at the University of California Irvine, you will be part of the outstanding achievements and potential that define our campus. In only four short decades, Irvine has achieved national and international recognition. Our reputation reflects the cutting-edge contributions of our faculty, the high caliber of our student body, the dynamics of our progressive curriculum, our technological orientation, and our exceptional commitment to quality progressive education and research; all in the ideal location.

The beautiful UCI campus is built upon 1,500 acres of coastal foothills in Irvine, California, just 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. A walk across the campus reveals some 24,000 students from every state in the nation and more than 100 countries. As a UCI student scholar, you will become a member of this diverse multicultural, international, and intellectual community.

Visitors to UCI are struck by its natural park-like beauty as well as the cutting-edge research and scholarly work quietly going on in its surrounding buildings. UCI's circular design successfully integrates the natural open space with the modern architecture of the academic, research and administrative structures. Ring Road, a mile in circumference walkway, is the pedestrian thoroughfare that connects the Student Center with campus classrooms, eateries, libraries, laboratories, housing and faculty offices. The Ring also serves as the outdoor staging area for a full calendar of cultural and social activities. Life at UCI is as dynamic as it is intellectually challenging and rewarding; everyone is always welcome.

We offer a quick and easy on-line application. See the Applying to UCI page for more information about our application process.
