UCR embraces cultural diversity!

International students who wish to strengthen their English language skills or further their education are welcome!

UCR's summer classes are open to the public, with over 450 courses to choose from, and are a great way to get ahead with your coursework, or broaden your educational horizons. The accelerated classes are taught in 5 weeks instead of the normal 10 weeks, giving you the same education in half the time, allowing you to enjoy your stay a little longer.

To be eligible to enroll in our summer sessions, you must first apply through International Education Programs (IEP). You must also have strong English language skills, with a TOEFL score of at least 550 (paper) or 79 (IBT) and must have completed secondary school. If you are not currently attending school in the United States, you will need an I-20 visa in order to take classes in the summer sessions.

International Student Application Form

Enrollment begins May 24, 2013. For further information please visit the International Education Programs website or email the IEP Counselors:
