Located 80 kilometers east of Los Angeles, in the heart of beautiful sunny Southern California, the University of California, Riverside (UCR), is one of 10 campuses within the prestigious University of California system, one of the nation’s premier public institutions of higher education. A NOTE FROM UCR faculty members are internationally renowned and have received prestigious awards.

UCR’s nearly 80,000 alumni have excelled in a variety of fields and have made significant contributions to the world. Our distinguished alumni include a Nobel and a Pulitzer Prize winner, a United States Ambassador, and an Oscar-nominated screenwriter. How UCR Ranks • U.S. News & World Report (2011) ranks UCR 44th among national public universities. • Forbes Magazine (2009) ranks UCR 25th among Best Value Colleges for its quality and affordability. (UCR alumnus and co-winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry) ❝I was accepted at (UC) Berkeley but chose to attend (UC) Riverside, a relatively new campus about 90 miles north of San Diego, because I thought that a smaller school might allow me to do more independent research earlier in my career. That proved to be the case.❞ 2 • UCR will open its medical school in Fall 2013 – the first new medical school in California in over four decades. • U.S. News & World Report ranks Bourns College of Engineering #1 – higher than any engineering college of its size among public universities in the U.S. • Washington Monthly (2011) ranked UCR 5th in the U.S. in contributing to public service and research.

The University of California System (UC) The University of California system is California’s top research university, which comprises 10 campuses and offers degrees at the Bachelor, Master and Doctoral levels. UC campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz provide stimulating environments that foster world-class educational and research opportunities, and generate a wide range of benefits and services that touch the lives of people around the world every day. The California State University System (CSU) The CSU is the largest university system in the United States and consists of 23 campuses. The universities within the CSU are primarily for undergraduate education, although many of the larger campuses offer Master’s degrees and since 2007, CSU is authorized to award Doctoral degrees in Education (Ed.D.). The California Community College System (CCC) The California Community College System has 112 campuses and provides first- and second-year courses only, leading to Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degrees. Students can then transfer to the CSU or UC system to complete their third and fourth years, and receive their Bachelor’s degree. 16 Private Education California has many private colleges and universities, including many religious and special purpose institutions. “Private” means that the university or college does not normally receive federal and state funding; the institution is primarily funded by student tuition. Accreditation Accreditation is a certification of the academic quality of an institution of higher learning. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is responsible for the accreditation of public and private universities and colleges in California, including the University of California. What is the difference between a “University” and a “College”? In the U.S.A., the terms “university” and “college” generally mean the same thing and are often used interchangeably, but are different. Universities are often larger than colleges, and universities normally contain multiple “colleges” or “schools.” UCR contains three colleges and two schools: the Bourns College of Engineering; the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences; the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences; the School of Business Administration; and the Graduate School of Education. What is the difference between a “College” and a “Community College”? In the United States, a college can offer full degree programs. Community colleges offer two-year Associate’s degrees and can provide the first two years of a four-year degree program. A California Community College cannot grant four-year Bachelor’s degrees. Imagine UCR International Pathway Programs yourself here!

During the UCR-APP program, students will work with an advisor to select the appropriate courses for transfer into their UCR major. Scholarships Top academic students who are accepted into the UCR-APP program may be eligible for APP entrance scholarships, depending on the student’s GPA. Admission Requirements to UCR-APP Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.4 out of 4 and have completed the A-G requirements (described on page 18) from an academic, non-vocational, secondary program. Students must also have a TOEFL 530 PBT, iBT 71 or IELTS 6.0. Many top international high school graduates meet the high school course requirements and the GPA (3.4 out of 4) for direct admission to UCR; however, international students may not have written the SAT/ACT and/or do not have the required TOEFL/IELTS score. The UCR-APP program is a nine-month academic preparation program that runs from September to June, for international students that have met the A-G and GPA requirements but not the SAT/ACT and/or TOEFL/IELTS requirements. This bridging program combines advanced English instruction, SAT & TOEFL preparation courses, and academic skills training with UCR credit classes, which are transferable toward a UCR undergraduate degree program. The APP program enables international students to complete the SAT and/or TOEFL test after the traditional UCR application date. Upon successful completion of the nine-month APP program -- including campus courses, test scores and UCR application requirements -- students will have the opportunity to enter a UCR undergraduate program. UCR-APP focuses on instruction in university study skills, including academic reading, writing and research plus critical thinking. Highly experienced instructors prepare students for the challenges of academic work and life on an American campus. 20 To Apply or Questions Contact International Education Programs at app@ucx.ucr.edu to receive individual counseling on UCR-APP admission requirements.

Students interested in applying to UC should refer to the UC Admissions website or the admissions office of the UC campus they wish to attend for details about the admissions process. 21 UCR International Transfer Track Program (UCR-ITT) TUITION: $3,350 (2013) $3,450 (2014) The UCR International Transfer Track program (UCR-ITT) is a cooperative program between UCR and select California community colleges. High school graduates who have not met the academic or language requirements for direct entry to UCR or the UCR-APP program, can strengthen their language and academic skills through the ITT program-- another pathway to help students graduate from UCR with a Bachelor’s degree. English and Academic Preparation By enrolling in the UCR-ITT program, students begin studies in UCR’s Intensive English Program (INT), where they will strengthen their English language skills in order to prepare for academic study in the U.S.A. Students are admitted into the UCR-ITT program at any language level, from beginner to advanced. Upon arrival at UCR, students will be tested and placed at the appropriate language level. When the student’s language skills reach an advanced level, the student will be recommended to the INT’s advanced level class, level 600. Upon successful completion, the student will gain admission to a California partner community college. Community College Experience California community colleges are highly regarded and provide students with smaller class sizes and individual attention. The majority of California high school graduates go to community college before they go to a UC. Community colleges prepare students for transfer to four-year universities. The community colleges also offer opportunities for personal enrichment and learning at an affordable price. Graduate from UCR UCR’s Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) program allows eligible students who are studying at a California Community College to have a guarantee of admission to UCR. Undergraduate Admissions representatives make regular visits to our partner community colleges to advise students regarding appropriate courses to take in order to ensure successful transfer to a UCR Undergraduate Program through TAG. Neither TOEFL nor SAT tests are required to transfer to UCR through this program. Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0 while attending a community college to be eligible for TAG. Upon successful completion of the UCR TAG requirements at the community college, the student’s pathway is now clear to complete their course requirements at UCR and proudly graduate with a UCR Bachelor’s degree. Conditional Admission to a California Community College Conditional letters of admission are provided to students who apply for the UCR-ITT program. UCR-ITT students will receive: • An acceptance letter from UCR’s International Education Programs for English language training • A conditional letter of acceptance from our partner community colleges Additionally, upon admission to one of our partner community colleges, students will be able to apply for UCR’s Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG), which guarantees acceptance to UCR upon successful completion of admission requirements at the partner community college.

UCP provides the opportunity to experience undergraduate, graduate and Extension credit courses, without having to formally apply to UCR. The UCP program is designed for university students who have demonstrated advanced understanding of English and who are academically strong. Course Options Students can choose from a range of credit classes across disciplines; however, fully admitted UCR undergraduate and graduate students have registration priority. UCP students must meet all prerequisites. Undergraduate and Graduate Level Courses UCP students have access to courses in over 80 undergraduate and 50 graduate programs. UCR is one of only three UC campuses with an undergraduate program in Business. However, availability is limited in all academic areas, and students should not expect to get into their first choice of classes*. We recommend students choose between 10 and 15 courses in which they are interested, and have been approved by their home institution. Our College Counseling Office works with each student to ensure a full course load of 12 units. * Some courses, such as the MBA program, are restricted and/ or require additional professional fees. Extension Classes In addition to daytime credit classes, UCP students also have access to a wide range of Extension classes that are normally offered in the late afternoon and evenings. Many Extension courses carry credit and every Extension course has been approved by the UCR Academic Senate Committee on courses. Extension courses give students the opportunity to study with professionals from the community, and make excellent business connections. Extension courses are taught by working professionals in the top of their fields. Many Extension courses can be combined to complete a UCR professional certificate or diploma. UCP students have full access to and can pre-select Extension courses. For a full list of Extension courses, please visit http://www.extension.ucr.edu/ What is Extension? UCR Extension is the continuing education and professional studies department of the University of California, Riverside. It offers non-degree, professional courses and Certificate Programs.
