CAMPUS
TRANSFORMATIVE TRANSPORTATION
Construction is underway for the 11-mile Mid-Coast Trolley extension , transforming the way the community will access and experience UC San Diego .
In 2021 , the UC San Diego Blue Line will encourage the community to engage and connect with the many intellectual and cultural offerings on campus . It is the first step in a grand plan to create new studentcentered facilities and open spaces , a campus gateway , and a more accessible and pedestrian-friendly experience .
LEADING THE WAY IN SOCIAL INNOVATION

UC San Diego is the first UC campus to be recognized , along with only 40 other universities worldwide . The honor highlights the innovative educational experiences offered inside and outside the classroom so that students are poised to make a positive difference in the world .
NO . 1 IN THE GOLDEN AGE
UC San Diego received the top slot in the new Times Higher Education ranking of the world ’ s top “ Golden Age ” universities — the best 100 institutions that were founded between 1945 and 1966 , a time characterized by rapid university expansion and increased investment in research .
“ UC San Diego was an experiment : our model from day one was to focus on issues , rather than disciplines . This nontraditional approach allows our students , faculty and researchers to make contributions that benefit society in myriad ways .”
— CHANCELLOR PRADEEP K . KHOSLA
