Graduate Studies

Graduate education at UC Merced is organized around multi-disciplinary graduate groups that emphasize a highly interdisciplinary approach to research and scholarship. The faculties of the three current Schools have committed to work together to provide course offerings and research experiences that transcend disciplinary boundaries and attack important real-world problems.

The School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts hosts two graduate groups. Additional information about each graduate program is available on their respective web site.
