College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences

The College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (CHASS) is the largest college at the University of California, Riverside (UCR). Our strength is our interdisciplinary power. At CHASS, students are seen, supported, and challenged as individuals. They study in interdisciplinary programs as multifaceted as they are. We are home to UCR ARTS (a museum and art center in downtown Riverside), several innovative research centers, dynamic performance spaces, and a low-residency M.F.A. program at our Palm Desert campus. CHASS inspires all students to feel at home in the world.

College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences

The College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences (CNAS) is home to world-renowned scholars pursuing research that deepens our knowledge of the universe we live in and improves the quality of life for inhabitants of the state, the nation, and the world. Central to this research is educating the students who come to CNAS to learn science, and who leave with an integrated grasp of how they can change the world. These students, and the faculty who teach them, benefit from a structure that is unique among land-grant colleges: CNAS’s 13 departments encompass the life, physical, mathematical, and agricultural sciences. This structure encourages an extraordinary degree of collaboration, reflected in the interdisciplinary research centers and the many cooperatively taught degree programs. Modern science is team based, and CNAS embodies that principle in everything it teaches and practices.

School of Public Policy

The UCR School of Public Policy is a professional school. This means we are a school that prepares our students towards professions or careers, specifically in public policy. Our public policy programs prepare students for careers in government, politics, and public affairs within public, non-profit, or private sectors.

The mission of the UCR School of Medicine is to improve the health of the people of California and, especially, to serve Inland Southern California by training a diverse workforce of physicians and by developing innovative research and health care delivery programs that will improve the health of the medically under-served in the region and become models to be emulated throughout the state and nation.
