Equity & Diversity
Innovation happens when unique perspectives come together. At ICS, we believe society benefits when today’s workforce reflects today’s society.
Excellence Through Inclusion
Developing a diverse STEM workforce.
UC Irvine has an incredibly diverse student, faculty and staff population, and ICS is among its most diverse schools: more than 50% of our students are first-generation, female, or from underrepresented backgrounds.
Making education accessible to all.
UCI’s welcoming Office of Access and Inclusion supports computer science, information technology and engineering students of historically underrepresented backgrounds through a number of resources, programs and initiatives.
Embracing
everyone.
University-wide diversity and inclusion initiatives run far and wide: student clubs and organizations, interdisciplinary academic programs and projects, professional development opportunities, and many other dedicated resources.
