UCLA is rated the #1 Public University in the country.

What makes BRI exceptional?

Image of the Month

Image: Dorsal view of a live axolotl salamander incubated in DASPEI styryl dye, highlighting lateral line and electroreceptive sensory organs. As axolotls remain aquatic into maturity, they retain functional aquatic sensory systems. These organs are lost upon terrestrial metamorphosis in most amphibians. Image by Duncan Leitch, Duncan Leitch lab.

#1 Educational Program

UCLA is ranked the #1 public education program in the country by US News. Programs are diverse, affordable, and mission driven.
