How is UC different? First, it is all about you: the person you are and the person you want to become. What you need to learn and the way you want to learn it. The success you would like to achieve, and the impact you want to have on the world.

A UC education prepares you for the future. We want you to take what you learn and be able to apply that to the real world, making sure that you have the opportunity for leadership, creativity, innovation and the skills to make your mark – long after you have turned the tassel on your mortarboard at graduation.
