Your Gateway to UCR The California Postsecondary Education System The California postsecondary education system consists of a full range of public and private schools. The University of California System (UC) The top State research university is the University of California, which consists of 10 campuses including Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz, and is considered the world s finest public university system. The UC system offers access to students from the top 12.5% of California high school graduates and provides most graduate studies and research. The California State University System (CSU) The CSU is the largest university system in the U.S. and is intended for the top one-third of California high school students. The CSU system consists of 23 campuses. The universities within the CSU are primarily for undergraduate education, although many of the larger campuses offer master s degrees and since 2007, the CSU is authorized to award doctorall degrees in Education (Ed.D.). The California Community College System The California Community College System has 109 campuses and provides first- and second-year courses only, leading to Associate of Arts or Associate of Science Degrees. Students can then transfer to the CSU or UC system to complete their third and fourth years and receive their bachelor s degree. Private Education California has hundreds of private colleges and universities, including many religious and specialpurpose institutions. Accreditation Accreditation is a certification of the academic quality of an institution of higher learning. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) is responsible for the accreditation of public and private universities and colleges in California. Applying for Undergraduate Admission It is difficult for international students to enter the University of California, Riverside, as first-year undergraduate students. Students must have exceptional high school grades, meet the language requirement and have successfully completed the SAT exams before graduating from their home country. Most undergraduate students attend a California community college for the first two years and then transfer to the UC or CSU systems, or to another college or university for degree completion. There are many advantages of studying in the community college system for the first two years. The programs and courses are of high quality. The entrance requirements are lower and students are not required to take the SAT exams. Courses can easily be transferred to the UC or CSU system or to any university in the U.S. Courses are also less expensive in the community colleges than at a UC or CSU. Applying for Graduate Programs Admission to graduate programs at the University of California, Riverside, is highly competitive. Students must meet strict admission requirements and since the number of qualified applicants may exceed the number of places available, many wellqualified candidates may not be admitted. University and College Advising Services The UC Riverside International Education Programs provides information and advising services to IEP students wishing to pursue undergraduate or graduate study at any institution in the U.S. There is no additional charge for these services. IEP also organizes a university and college fair each session where local and pathway partner institutions are invited to talk about their academic programs. Your Gateway to UCR Students enrolled in the UCR English language programs now have several opportunities to further their studies at UCR at the undergraduate level. High school graduates who have met the academic requirements for UCR, but may not have completed the SAT s or met the TOEFL requirement, can now enroll in the UCR Admission Preparation Program (UCR-APP) (pages 18 and 19), with conditional admission to UCR. Students who do not have the academic credentials to enter UCR directly can still work towards their goal of graduation from UCR by enrolling in the UCR International Transfer Track (UCR-ITT) (pages 20 and 21), which places students in a two-year California community college with direct transfer to UCR for qualifying students after two years. Visiting students are welcome to study at UCR for up to one year through the University Credit Program (UCP) (pages 22 and 23). UCR-ITT UCR IEP High School UCR-APP 16 17

The UCR-Admission Preparation Program (UCR- APP) is a nine-month foundation program offered each September-June that combines advanced level English study and academic skills preparation with the opportunity to take UCR credit classes, which are fully transferable to your UCR undergraduate program. Students who wish to apply for the UCR-APP must meet the Undergraduate admission Academic Requirements (page 19) and present a TOEFL 530 (or equivalent). Successful applicants will be offered conditional admission to UCR (the conditions the student must meet are to successfully achieve the SAT and/or TOEFL requirements by the end of the UCR-APP). UCR-APP Quarter one (September-December) focuses primarily on improving your advanced English language and study skills with a focus on preparing you to become a successful academic student at UCR. Coursework includes SAT and TOEFL preparation. To ensure success in university courses, students will have a graduated study path to campus credit courses. In quarter two (January-March), successful students will be permitted to take up to 9 academic credits and up to 12 academic credits in quarter three (March-June) (subject to availability and pre-requisites), which are fully transferrable to your UCR degree program. An optional fourth quarter of study can be taken by those students who need extra assistance before entering their undergraduate program at UCR. *Students who meet the academic, SAT/ACT, and TOEFL requirements can apply online directly to UCR at during November of the student s senior year of high school.

13 UCR International Transfer Track (UCR-ITT) Your Gateway to UCR Do you want to... Graduate with an undergraduate degree from UCR? Prepare for UCR study through a recognized and respected California institution? Enjoy smaller classes which will help you become a successful UCR student? Significantly reduce your fees for the first two years of study? The academic requirements to enter UCR directly are very high. In California, only the top 12.5% of high school graduates are eligible for direct entry. UCR also has very high SAT and TOEFL requirements. UCR is about quality, but it is also about access. International high school graduates who would like to graduate from UCR but who do not meet the high academic requirements of the University of California, still have the opportunity to earn a UCR bachelor s degree by enrolling in the UCR-International Transfer Track Program. The UCR-ITT program is a cooperative program between UCR and select California community colleges. By enrolling in this program, you begin your studies in UCR s IEP program, where you will strengthen your English skills in order to prepare for academic study in the U.S. Upon completion of the top level of the IEP program, level 600, you will gain admission to a california community College. California Community Colleges are highly regarded and provide you with smaller class sizes and individual attention. They are your best opportunity to be successful at UCR. College tuition is also considerably lower than university tuition. At the partner community college of your choice, you will enroll in a program that will ensure you have the course prerequisites you need to successfully transfer back to UCR after two years of study, without an SAT or TOEFL score, for the final two years of study leading to degree completion. Conditional letters of acceptance are provided to students who apply for the UCR-ITT program on their application. Two letters of conditional admission are sent along with an acceptance letter for the Intensive English Language Program: one from our partner community colleges for the first two years of study and another from the University of California, Riverside, for the final two years of the bachelor s degree program. Note: The initial I-20 is issued only for the length of the Intensive English Program. After completion of level 600, you will make an application to the community college of your choice. A transfer I-20 will be issued to allow you to further your study at the community college. You will follow the same process when you apply back to UCR after two years of study. Dear Friend, I have lived and studied in California for one month. Time passes so fast! I m studying at UCR to improve my English and to prepare for the TOEFL and GMAT exams. While studying here, I have improved my writing and speaking skills. I also made many friends from several countries. Take care!

UCR is one of only three UC campuses with an undergraduate program in business. However, availability is limited and students should not expect to get into their first choice of classes*.

Extension courses give students the opportunity to study with professionals from the community and make excellent business connections.

Many Extension courses carry UCR credit and like all UCR courses, classes are rigorous. Courses provide great opportunities to network with other professionals. Course assistance A UCR IEP College Advisor is available to all students to assist them in the course enrollment. Upon completion of each quarter of study, students may request an official UCR Extension transcript which details grades and numbers of credits that can be transferred back to your home institution. Summer Studies Undergraduate and graduate courses offered during the summer quarter (June through September) are available to international visiting students; however, they are not considered part of the UCP program. Summer quarter classes follow a separate date and fee structure, which is announced each February. The summer quarter is divided into 5-week sessions. Students can take a maximum of 2 courses during each 5-week session. Students have the same priority as UCR students for summer session courses, which is on a first-come-first-served basis. Students enrolled in UCP during the summer session still have full access to Extension credit courses.
