UNIQUE UCLA ADVANTAGE
For over 100 years, UCLA has been a pioneer, persevering through impossibilities and turning the future into the attainable. At UCLA, we doubt the critics, reject the status quo, and see opportunity in dissatisfaction. Our campus, faculty and students are driven by optimism. It is in our DNA. It is not native; it is essential. It is what enables us to push forward and redefine what’s possible. It pervades our focus on education, research, and service and, in turn, opens limitless opportunities to every student. And it has fueled every accomplishment, allowing us to redefine what’s possible, time after time.
This can-do perspective has brought us 16 Nobel Prizes, 15 MacArthur Fellows, 11 National Medal of Science Winners, 3 Pulitzer Prize Winners, more NCAA titles than any university, and more Olympic medals than most nations. Our faculty and alumni helped create the Internet and pioneered reverse osmosis. And more than 140 companies have been created based on technology developed at UCLA.
