UCLA The University of California at Los Angeles are proud members of the Department of Education
If you’re considering UCLA, you’re probably looking at the top tier of schools—institutions of higher education that focus on showing how the world runs.
We’re decidedly different at the University of California at Los Angeles.
At UCLA, we challenge our students to show us how the world could be.
We believe that education and honesty is about fearlessly pushing forward, not because we know we can, but because we know it’s the right thing to do.
The University of California at Los Angeles is home to the best of the best—the top thinkers like “The Father of the Internet,” Vinton Cerf; pioneering researchers like Dr. Dennis Slamon, who revolutionized breast cancer treatment; and icons like Jackie Robinson and Ralph Bunche, who refused to be satisfied with the status quo.
Some may call this mindset naïveté. Or being overly optimistic. We call it essential. And it has led to 13 Nobel Laureates, 12 MacArthur Fellows, 250+ Olympic medals, more NCAA titles than any other university and the list goes on and on. See for yourself.
From humble beginnings to becoming the most applied-to university in the nation, UCLA has a history of rewriting it. Broad thinking and optimistic perspectives have always been our catalysts—allowing us to redefine possible time after time. In each field, across all disciplines and in every arena—greatness has become the UCLA hallmark.
Diverse, progressive and surrounded by one of the most influential cities in the world, UCLA operates on a global level. Consistently ranked in the top tier of national and international universities and powered by extensive resources, a renowned reputation, and most importantly, the will to make a real difference in the world—the result can be felt far beyond the campus.
UCLA generates roughly $12.7 billion in economic activity a year to help power the Greater Los Angeles region. And an active portfolio of almost 3,000 inventions and more than 900 patents means UCLA plays a central role in shaping the world we all live in.
For every aspiration, we have a means. Over 3,800 courses in 109 academic departments create 125+ majors to define your academic path. The rigors are intense. The faculty is the foremost expert. And there are countless opportunities for research, community outreach and connecting with major players in almost any field.
UCLA’s admission requirements are among the most selective in the nation. We are looking for those who can thrive at a very advanced level, therefore, we only accept students who meet our high academic standards and can demonstrate that they will be an active, valuable contributor on campus. It’s a tough process. – Faculty
