Why Choose CSE @ UCR?
UCR has a beautifully scenic and park-like campus that is within a short driving distance from all Southern California attractions. UC Riverside is uniquely situated so that residents may go surfing in the morning, mountain hiking (skiing in winter) in the afternoon and enjoy a winery or Broadway play in the evening. With many community and campus acitivites and organizations, there is something for everyone at UCR!

UCR has recently been reported on the US News and World Report 'Best Colleges: Up-and-Coming National Universities' List. According to US News and World Report, "College presidents, provosts, and admissions deans were asked to nominate up to 10 colleges in their U.S. News America's Best Colleges ranking category "that are making improvements in academics, faculty, students, campus life, diversity, and facilities. These schools are worth watching because they are making promising and innovative changes. This item on the peer survey enabled college officials to pick schools within their ranking category that are rapidly evolving in ways that the public should be aware of and that are not always quickly noticeable in a college's year-to-year rankings."
