| The
UCLA College of Letters and Science is
the core of the liberal arts tradition at UCLA. The largest and
most comprehensive academic organization in the University of California system, the College
houses nearly all of UCLA’s undergraduate majors, and the
vast majority of the university’s academic departments, research and graduate training.
The College's six divisions --
Humanities,
Physical Sciences,
Social Sciences,
Life Sciences,
Undergraduate Education,
and the
UCLA International Institute --
encompass 34 departments,
40 specialized programs, and 130 undergraduate majors and graduate
degrees spanning research and teaching
in the liberal arts and sciences.
Teaching and conducting research
in the College are some of the world's most distinguished faculty.
These include members of the National Academy of Sciences and
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Guggenheim fellows, MacArthur Foundation fellows
and Fulbright scholars. Three College faculty members have received Nobel prizes,
and six have received the National Medal of Science.
The College’s ability to compete
nationally for the brightest minds is greatly enhanced by investments
in endowed chairs, fellowships and scholarships.
