Formerly known as the University of California Citrus Experiment Station, the university pioneered pilot studies in fertilization, interrogation and crop development. Due to the rising demands of the local community and the growing desire for expertise evolution, the university expanded its size and opened new faculties over the course of 20th century.
Currently one of the most diverse universities in the US, UCR prides itself on offering over 100 programs at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral level through 3 colleges and 5 graduates schools: the Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering; the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences; the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences; the School of Business Administration; The School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Education, the School of Public Policy and the Anderson School of Management.
Students also have access to the vast collection of literature and resources in UCR libraries: The Tomás Rivera Library and Raymond L. Orbach Science Library, which preserve over 3 million paper volumes and half million electronic resources including one of the biggest science fiction and horror written works collections in the world.
With over 400 student organisations on campus, students are encouraged to participate in numerous regular events including concerts, exhibitions and comedy shows. UCR actively supports Afro-American and LGBT communities on campus via specially developed programs and initiatives.
UCR is the alma-mater of over 100,000 people, many of whom have become successful in their field. Some of the most prominent graduates and faculty members include the Noble Laureate in Chemistry Dr. Richard R. Schrock and the Pulitzer Prize Winner Steve Breen.
