Academics

"After listening to you speak about the importance of the things I care deeply about, like imagination and empathy, I was convinced that UCSD was an institution I was interested in attending and committed to UCSD several days ago."

— Prospective Student who attended Triton Day 2017

Our academic programs are the heart and soul of the IAH. Each is instruction-centered and offers a range of interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate specializations, minors and majors. They provide innovative curricula, involve faculty affiliates from multiple departments and divisions, facilitate student research, and serve as the primary vehicle for advancing the shared vision of the IAH.
