UC Irvine Graduate Division Mission Statement
Graduate education is what differentiates a university from a college.
At UC Irvine Graduate Division, we strive to:
- Recruit the best students to UC Irvine and provide them with a high-quality educational experience.
- Provide the graduate-level educational resources they need before, during, and after their time at UC Irvine.
- Help them launch their careers, whether in academia, industry, entrepreneurship, non-profit, or government.
To do this, we must excel in inclusive excellence, student success and wellness, lifelong learning, and partnerships 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.
