UCLA’s Division of Undergraduate Education is the campus-wide advocate for teaching, learning and student success across our diverse undergraduate population.

The Division’s work supports all UCLA undergraduates, underpinning every major and making it possible for UCLA to fulfill its mission: the creation, dissemination, preservation, and application of knowledge for the betterment of our global society. 

We believe in students. We are here for them. And we encourage them to view their undergraduate years at UCLA as a foundational experience from which to draw strength, inspiration, and connection for the rest of their lives. 

Above all, UCLA’s Division of Undergraduate Education is uniquely positioned to:  

  • Offer unparalleled support for student access, equity and inclusion 
  • Drive interdisciplinary, student-centered explorations of major issues  
  • Spark impactful research and service to become global citizens 

“What surprised me is how accessible they made the science and how much I loved it. I was no longer afraid of it.”

—Kate Green, Cluster program peer research and writing specialist

“I’m proud to be a voice for students, to guide them to resources and to give them good strategies for success. I can tell them from experience, ‘I did it. So can you.’”

—Makena Tinney, Cluster program peer research and writing specialist

“My disability studies minor has shown me how I can use what I’m learning to advocate for a better world for all.”

—Christopher Ikonomou, Communications major and disability studies minor

“I know how much my support system encouraged and influenced me here at UCLA, and now I’m able to be that person for others, too.”

Nene Usim, Academic Advancement Program’s Freshmen Transfer Summer Program alum and peer counselor.

Together we can meet the needs of our division and its students. The key to helping our next generation is investing in our undergraduates throughout their journey.
