About UC Merced
The University of California, Merced, is the newest of the
University of California system's 10 campuses and the first
American research university built in the 21st century. With more
than 9,000 undergraduate and graduate students, UC Merced offers an
environment that combines a commitment to diversity, inclusion,
collaboration, and professional development. With bachelor's,
master's and doctoral degree programs, strong research and academic
partnerships, and community involvement, the UC Merced campus is
continually evolving and requires talented, knowledgeable, and
dynamic educators, researchers, management and staff.
Ranked among the best public universities in the nation by U.S.
News and World Report, UC Merced is uniquely equipped to provide
educational opportunities for highly qualified students from the
San Joaquin Valley and throughout California. The campus enjoys a
special connection with nearby Yosemite National Park, is on the
cutting edge of sustainability in construction and design and
supports the economic development of Merced and the region.
In Fall 2016, UC Merced broke ground on a $1.3 billion
public-private partnership that is unprecedented in higher
education. The Merced 2020 Project nearly doubled the physical
capacity of the campus, enhancing academic distinction, student
success and research excellence. In 2018, UC Merced opened the
Downtown Campus Center, a $33 million, three-story administrative
building located in the heart of Merced.
To set the course of UC Merced's evolution, in 2021 UC Merced will
enact its first-ever 10-year strategic plan. This plan will guide
how the values of equity and justice influence our pathway toward
earning Carnegie R1 research status, growing enrollment, upholding
our identity as a minority-serving institution, and
operationalizing how commitments to equity, diversity and inclusion
are enacted within each campus unit. UC Merced is expected to
engage in sophisticated thinking, planning, and implementation of
actions that effectively diversify the professoriate and staff,
improve campus climate for all campus constituency groups, and
strengthen our equity, diversity, and inclusion infrastructure and
capacity.
