Every fall, U.S. News & World Report publishes its ranking of colleges and universities across the country.
In the 2024 edition, UCLA and UC Berkeley tied for 15th nationally, which was a jump from the previous year when both institutions were ranked 20th.

As online learning becomes more widespread and AI tools gain prominence in academia, both faculty and students are adapting to shifts in the educational environment in various ways.

UCLA added two new majors to its offerings in the fall: a Bachelor of Arts in music industry and a Bachelor of Arts in disability studies.

As another quarter comes to a close, the application process for certain majors and minors draws nearer for numerous Bruins.
With upward of 125 majors offered at UCLA through the College of Letters and Science, the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and other professional schools, students have abundant academic routes to explore.

When Bruins scan the list of majors offered at UCLA, the possibilities are almost endless. While students are generally free to explore and switch majors across a wide variety of disciplines during their undergraduate years, those intending to become physicians typically pursue a STEM field.

Between classes, clinical volunteering and personal hobbies, pre-health Bruins may have plenty to consider when crafting a well-rounded application for graduate school.
Nowadays, research is often a requirement for students to be competitive for graduate and medical school applications.

As senior Bruins juggle upcoming job opportunities and graduate offers, they may feel anywhere from elation to fear with graduation around the corner. For some international Bruins, the prospect of graduation and the uncertainty that follows may be especially daunting.
