Timeline

Beautiful Southern California Location

UC Irvine is minutes from the ocean and borders the majestic beach cities of Laguna and Newport Beach. The mountain resorts of Big Bear and Mountain High are just a short drive away. With Orange County's mild climate, it's possible in winter and spring to play in the snow in the morning and swim with the dolphins in the afternoon.
