Our faculty are teachers, but they are also researchers who are dedicated to the advancement and sharing of knowledge within their fields and around the world. Research takes place on and around campus, in the nearby Sierra Nevada, including Yosemite National Park, throughout the San Joaquin Valley, around the state and across the globe in such places as Belize, Turkey, Tibet and Cuba.
UpstART (formerly ARTS UC Merced Presents) is a faculty-directed arts organization at UC Merced. UpstART's mission is to bring diverse and exciting arts programming to our campus and local community.
