Take Your Education to New Heights
UCP students must demonstrate an advanced understanding of English language, and have a strong academic foundation. Once you check with your home institution to find out which UCR courses are transferable, choose credit classes from across all disciplines. Gain access to courses in over 80 undergraduate majors, and 50 graduate programs. UCP students can earn one or more certificates, depending on the length of stay and number of units taken. Time to complete certificates is subject to number of units taken and course availability in each quarter.
