Six Colleges at UC San Diego

Roger Revelle College

Revelle College was the first college established at UCSD and was named in honor of UCSD's founder, Roger Revelle, a man the "New York Times" described as one of the world's most articulate spokesmen for science. A recipient of the President's Medal for Science, Revelle is best known for his seminal work on global warming. Revelle College opened in 1964 during the post-Sputnik era of the "space race." The college has a rich academic heritage, and its curriculum comprises a serious introduction to mathematics, science, writing, the humanities, and a foreign language.

John Muir College

John Muir College, UCSD's second college, was named for famed nature writer, environmentalist, and Sierra Club founder John Muir. Established in 1967, when a new American environmental movement was taking shape under the influence of studies such as Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring," Muir College continues to be inspired by its namesake's philosophical engagement with nature and human values and his activism in the cause of wilderness preservation. Muir's self-directed and multifaceted career led the college to adopt as its motto "Celebrating the Independent Spirit." Since 1993, Muir has been home to UCSD's interdisciplinary Environmental Studies minor. As part of its commitment to fostering interdisciplinary teaching and research, Muir also sponsors the Critical Gender Studies major and minor and Film Studies minor.

Thurgood Marshall College

Thurgood Marshall College was named for the first black Supreme Court justice and the key lawyer for the landmark 1954 Supreme Court case "Brown v. Board of Education." The legacy of Marshall College's namesake lives on through its involvement with the creation of the Preuss School – a charter public school on the UCSD campus – and UCSD's partnership with Gompers Charter Middle School in Southeast San Diego. Thurgood Marshall College is committed to revitalizing a humanitarian idea of higher education and seeks to spark the idea that a university must take as its first duty the education of citizens for public involvement and community responsibility. Thurgood Marshall College sponsors the Public Service minor (academic credit for service), the African-American Studies minor, the UCSD Morehouse/Spelman Student Exchange Program, and Partners at Learning (academic credit for tutoring in public schools).

Earl Warren College

Earl Warren College, founded in 1974 as Fourth College, was later named for the 3-term California governor and chief justice of the United States Supreme Court. His public leadership is remembered for the broad-based support he achieved during a period of U.S. history marked by dramatic changes. Despite the charged political climate, he swept the Democratic, Republican, and Progressive California gubernatorial primaries in 1946, winning him not only leadership of the state but a place in history. Appointed by President Dwight Eisenhower as chief justice in 1953, Warren presided over many significant cases. The most controversial of these was the landmark 1954 decision in "Brown v. Board of Education," which legally ended racial segregation in public schools. Warren College is committed to helping its students gain the intellectual, social, and decision-making skills necessary to assume responsible global citizenship.

Eleanor Roosevelt College

Eleanor Roosevelt College (commonly referred to as ERC), was named after former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and seeks to continue her global vision by emphasizing the development of world citizens through scholarship, leadership, and service. The college was founded as Fifth College in 1988, in the wake of the end of the Cold War. During its inaugural year (1988–1989), the Berlin Wall collapsed, marking the reunification of Germany and the radical change of world politics.

Sixth College

Sixth College, the youngest of UCSD's six colleges, was founded in 2001 and enrolled its first students in 2002. The college is dedicated to helping students acquire the interpersonal skills, technical know-how, self-knowledge, and cultural awareness needed to thrive and be effective in the global community.
