UC Riverside is also a place where students can have fun, where relationships are easy to develop, and possibilities abound for having a good time. These represent the research and teaching interests of our distinguished faculty, working at the cutting edge of their discipline. We encourage all of our students, undergraduate and graduate, to become involved in discovery, in the creation of new knowledge. Opportunities are available for students at all levels to work with faculty in their laboratories or offices, to publish papers, and present results at professional meetings. The commitment to involving our students in the learning process is evident in our undergraduate courses.
Senior faculty teach our courses.
When you take courses from these faculty members, choose one whose interests and personality suit you, and ask if you can do research with him or her. You will find yourself welcomed into a meaningful experience which will involve you at the forefront of discovery. We offer the courses that students need to take to finish their degree objective. Students at UC Riverside have many opportunities to become involved and make a difference. Through both programs, UC Riverside students can mentor at-risk youth, giving them the positive direction they need to make improvements in their school work and lives.
