WELCOME TO JOHN MUIR COLLEGE!
If you have just been admitted to UC San Diego and to John Muir College, congratulations and welcome! If you want to spend the next several years studying with world-class faculty who work at the cutting edge in their fields, then UCSD is the place for you. At UCSD you have all the exciting opportunities of a great research university plus the friendly and supportive environment of a small liberal arts college. As a Muir student, you'll have the freedom to design a general education program that fits your individual goals, interests, and talents. You'll also be part of a diverse community of students who are successful, involved, and have fun at the same time as they're making the most of UCSD's academic challenges.
Muir is a special place where generations of students have felt recognized and valued as individuals and experienced a strong sense of belonging within this large research university. The College's motto, "Celebrating the Independent Spirit," recognizes the achievements of our namesake John Muir and of our talented and enterprising students and alumni. Come to UCSD in the fall and be part of the Muir adventure!
If you are a transfer student admitted to UCSD and Muir College, join us on Transfer Admit Day, May 8th. Explore the college and the university, have your questions answered, and meet Muir students and staff. We look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
Susan Smith
Provost
