From the Chancellor of UCLA

The UCLA General Catalog for 2009-2010 presents the wealth of academic opportunities available at one of the world’s most comprehensive universities.

UCLA is a premier center for education, research, and service. We consistently strive for excellence, and many of our academic programs are ranked among the world's best.

As a research university committed to creating and disseminating knowledge across the disciplines, we are especially proud of the extraordinary richness and diversity of our teaching program. Through 192 majors and more than 14,000 courses, we link research with instruction in the UCLA College of Letters and Science and 11 professional schools.

This catalog includes opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students, including those that offer priority enrollment for lower division students. Among these are the Fiat Lux Seminars (small classes that explore a broad array of subjects), Freshman Clusters (year-long, team-taught interdisciplinary examinations of an array of timely topics), and opportunities for student research.

On our campus, we nurture a vibrant academic community of faculty and student scholars, who advance knowledge, pursue intellectual achievement, collaborate across disciplines, and address social challenges through engagement with the community.

I encourage you to explore UCLA beyond this catalog. Please visit us on campus, or online at http://www.ucla.edu.
