Admission Preparation Program (APP)

GPP aims to prepare you for future graduate study. GPP allows students who have completed their third year of undergraduate study to complete their fourth and final year at UC Riverside. Choose from a variety of disciplines, and take courses alongside UCR matriculated students. You gain UCR Academic Credits that can count toward your home university undergraduate degrees.
Offered in collaboration with the UCR School of Business, MBPP is designed for students who hold a three-year Bachelor’s degree, and wish to enter into a Master’s degree in business at University of California, Riverside, which normally requires a four-year Bachelor’s degree.
UCP gives you the opportunity to enroll in UCR courses taught by renowned faculty members, or in UCR Extension courses taught by real-world professionals. Further enhance your portfolio by taking courses toward one of the many professional certificates UCR Extension offers.
