Welcome to the
MASTER GUIDE
Unfortunately, there will come a day that you will be leaving UCR. What to do afterwards? The vast majority of UCR students goes on to pursue a Master's, a PhD, or another kind of postgraduate degree. The program offered at UCR – a broad Liberal Arts and Sciences Bachelor's – is designed to provide you with a solid educational base. Specializing, to a large extent, is done in the next stage of your education. By outlining the processes and requirements involved as clearly as possible, we hope to make it easier for you to reach this next stage.
