“ mixture of how twenty-first-century artists and designers work and how to revolutionize art,” Calcetas said. In addition, something else unique to the specific colleges is a major called Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts Major.

Muir College, supporting and accommodating, offers a personalized academic plan that would meet student’s individual needs, and also has a strong focus on social welfare and rights of others.Īt Marshall College, students become better citizens as a community that focuses on diversity, justice and imagination through community and public services. Revelle College, known for its highly rigorous academic standards, provides a strong education foundation for any major, especially for graduate or professional schools.

“It might seem that UCSD is a big college, but because of the college system, there are individualized communities within the college itself. Unlike many other UCs, the University of California San Diego is the combination of six different unique colleges: Revelle, Muir, Marshall, Warren, Roosevelt and Sixth.Īmanda Calcetas, an incoming third year at Sixth College majoring in Cognitive Neuroscience, approved of this system.
