University of California, Los Angeles

UCLA is one of the world’s great research universities, number 11 in London’s Times Higher Education rankings (2010-2011). Our faculty includes Nobel Laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, multiple MacArthur fellows and scores of national academy members. Interdisciplinary teaching and research is a particular strength, with initiatives in the arts, stem cells and other biosciences, nanoscience, international studies and the environment.

Our freshmen and transfer students have a 91% success and progress rate – that’s the percentage who graduate or remain in good standing after four years (two for transfers). Many seniors choose capstone projects as part of their degree programs.
