Excellence in Academics & Research
UCI is a center for quality education that fosters the passionate and enthusiastic expansion of knowledge. Our graduates are equipped with the tools of analysis, expression and cultural understanding necessary for leadership in today’s world.

UCI is consistently ranked among the nation’s best universities – public and private – with achievements in a broad range of fields that have garnered high national rankings for many schools, departments and programs. Three UCI researchers have won Nobel Prizes – two in chemistry and one in physics.

The university is noted for its excellent research and graduate programs, an extensive commitment to undergraduate education, and a growing number of professional schools and programs of academic importance and social significance. Recent additions include public health, pharmaceutical sciences and nursing science programs, as well as a new School of Law scheduled to open in 2009.

A Prime Resource for the Community
UCI reaches beyond its classrooms and laboratories to address societal issues and support human development. UC Irvine Medical Center, Orange County’s only university hospital, is building a new world-class facility that, when completed in 2009, will house the latest technologies and strengthen UCI’s ability to provide specialized medical and surgical treatments to the region’s citizens.

A major intellectual and cultural center, UCI engages the community through many public activities and events. Renowned individuals speaking on campus include Nobel Peace Prize winners, such as former President Jimmy Carter, His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and Kenyan environmental advocate Wangari Maathai.

Fueling Growth & Prosperity
In 2006-07, the university invested $230 million in capital construction projects, with additional upgrades under way or in the planning stages. Extramural funding – money coming from outside sources, including federal and state agencies, industry contracts and private foundations in support of UCI research – totaled $276 million in 2006-07.

Underscoring strong community support, private giving to UCI topped $120 million in 2006-07. With an endowment valued at $234 million as of June 30, 2007, the University of California, Irvine Foundation spearheads private fundraising efforts for the campus and, with the assistance of alumni and community leaders, helps ensure UCI’s future as a world-class research university.

UCI benefits the community and the world in countless ways through its scholarly, scientific, creative and economic contributions. UCI now has embarked on a strategic plan that will ensure the campus continues to inspire excellence as it fulfills its research, teaching and public service mission in the decades ahead.
