UCI Graduate Division Mission Statement
Graduate education is what differentiates a university from a college.
At UCI Graduate Division, we strive to:
- Recruit the best students to UCI and provide them a high-quality experience and education;
- Provide the graduate-level educational resources they need before, during, and after their time
at UCI; - Help them launch their careers, whether it be in academia, industry, entrepreneurship, non-profit, or government.
To do this, we must excel at inclusive excellence, student success and wellness, lifelong learning, and partnership with industry.
At UC Irvine, we believe that healthy Anteaters are productive Anteaters. Explore how our graduate students and postdoctoral scholars stay healthy, focused and energized.
