“UC Merced is the type of campus that lets you explore personal growth if you are willing to demand change within yourself. One of the beauties of our campus is that it finds itself at a stage where we can easily leave a legacy that causes positive change in future students long after we are gone.”

Wildflowers, Not White Boards
We are quite proud of something that gives us an edge over every other university – proximity to Yosemite National Park. This allows us to offer resources that are truly unique to UC Merced.
YOSEMITE LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Regardless of your major or previous outdoor experience, you can gain the skills to lead, advocate for the environment, make informed ethical decisions and create social change during the two-year program.
YOSEMITE FIELD STATION
The Yosemite Field Station is ideally situated inside the park to support field research projects in Yosemite and the Sierra National Forest, along with workshops, retreats and presentations from artists and writers. It is dedicated to facilitating links between science, art, education and natural resource management.
