Today's students will work, vote and pursue their dreams in a society driven by change. A great university helps provide its students with their own moral and intellectual compass to navigate through complexity and uncertainty.

A great university also meets society's need for well-educated citizens possessed of a broad perspective on critical issues. For more than 135 years, the University of California has met these responsibilities through unmatched programs in the humanities, social sciences and the arts.

Throughout California, communities are stimulated and enriched by the exhibits, concerts and plays presented year 'round at UC campuses; the outpouring of novels, nonfiction books and articles by UC faculty members provide insight into our world and its people.

In addition to the myriad of individual campus research programs in the arts, humanities and social sciences, the University of California also has a number of systemwide, multi-campus research endeavors.
