UCI, like most other UC's, is best known for the hard sciences and its emphasis on being a research facility. However, it is a surprise for many to learn that UCI also has the second best program in the nation for dance, as well as being consistently highly ranked in other humanities and social science programs. UCI is also known for its large population of asians (appx 60 {4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}). There is a lot of diversity, however, within that category; I have met people from every contient of the world at UCI, except for Antarctica.

Our school has an extremely competitive biological sciences program because a majority of students here have dreams to become doctors. Our professors are on the cutting edge of research and they teach all the material needed for the mcats and any future career goals. Most of the bio professors are very helpful during office hours and try to respond to emails as efficiently as possible.

UCI is best known for our highly advanced science, engineering and medical programs. UCI hosts one of the highest ranked hospitals in the United States, the UCI Medical Center; and conducts a wide variety of medical research. The political science program to which I was a party to, recieved a very generous grant from the state 4 years ago to expand their program . This has been very beneficial as UCI has been able to expand their interests very broadly in all aspects of Political Science including middle east studies, intelligence, constitutional law, narcotics law, east asian studies and many more.
