The mission of the UCR School of Public Policy is to train a new genera- tion of forward-thinking public policy leaders equipped to address the complex, interrelated challenges of poverty, disease, illiteracy, climate change, energy security, pollution and more. Their training will be informed by a diverse, interdisciplinary curriculum that emphasizes evidence-based policy research as well as cross-learning from both international and domestic problem-solving experiences, and a rich internship program that emphasizes experiential learning.

UCR is only the third UC to have a School of Public Policy and the only UC in the ten-campus University of California system to offer an undergraduate degree in public policy. It is also the only major research university in the Inland Southern California region to offer a Master of Public Policy (MPP) program. The UCR School of Public Policy is dis- tinctive in its focus on addressing the big policy challenges facing California and, in particular, the Inland Region. Our “Solutions for the Region, Solutions for the World” approach places an emphasis on applying policy lessons learnt from other parts of the nation and the world to solving California’s problems. The School of Public Policy brings together the national and international strengths of policy faculty from across the disciplines at UCR to create an exceptional educational experience for our students.

Founded by former Riverside Mayor Ron Loveridge, the school has an internship program which partners with local and regional public agencies to provide students with first-rate internship experiences. The program prepares a generation of interns to become tomorrow’s policy leaders.

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) program, requires a minimum of three four-unit courses per quarter for a total of 72 units of graduate courses. Find out more at spp.ucr.edu. SECTION START

The credit value of each course in quarter units is indicated for each term by a number following the title. The Schedule of Classes, at registrationssb.ucr.edu, published several weeks before each term commences, lists the courses that will actually be offered for that term, along with their class hours and locations.

The class type, such as lecture or laboratory, and number of hours per week are listed in the first line of the description.

The letters “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D” are used with the course numbers to indicate sequential order; they do not necessarily indicate that an earlier quarter in the sequence is a prerequisite to the later quarters; the prerequisites (if any) of a given course are stated in the description of that course. The letter designation “E-Z” immediately following a course number — for example, HIST 191 (E-Z) — indicates different topics offered under a general title; no specific instance of such a course, for example, HIST 191E, HIST 191F, or HIST 191G, may be repeated for credit unless otherwise indicated in the course description. The letters “E” through “Z” have no sequential implications. The let- ters “H”, “L”, or “P” immediately following a course number usually have special designations: “H” for an honors course, “L” for a laboratory course (usually in the sciences), and “P” for a proseminar. A grade is assigned by the instructor at the end of each term, and credit is granted for each term, except as otherwise noted. Courses are numbered as follows:

• 1. Lower-division: 001–099; generally recommended for freshmen and

sophomores.

• 2. Upper-division: 100–199; normally open only to students who have

completed at least one lower-division course in the subject, or six quar- ters/four semesters of college work. Credit in special studies courses for undergraduates is limited to 5 units per quarter.

• 3. Graduate: 200-299; normally open only to students who have com-

pleted at least 18 upper-division quarter units basic to the subject matter of the course.

The admission of undergraduates to graduate courses is limited to upper-di- vision students who have an overall scholarship average not lower than “B”; these limits are imposed by the rules of the Graduate Division. However, graduate courses completed before attaining the baccalaureate will not be accepted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the credential or minimum requirements in the 200 series for the master’s degree, except for undergraduate students who have received approval for backdating their graduate status to cover the session during which such courses were taken. See the Backdating Units section under Policies and Regulations.

• 4. Professional courses for teaching credential candidates: 300–399.

• 5. Other professional courses: 400–499.
