The University of California, Riverside is a public research university and one of the 10 general campuses of the University of California system. The main campus is in Riverside, California, with a branch campus in Palm Desert. Founded in 1907 as the UC Citrus Experiment Station, UCR's undergraduate College of Letters and Science opened in 1954. The Regents of the University of California declared UCR a general campus of the system in 1959, and graduate students were admitted in 1961. To accommodate an enrollment of 21,000 students by 2015, more than $730 million has been invested in new construction projects since 1999. Plans are underway to open a medical school—California's newest one in 40 years—by 2012. The Washington Monthly ranked UCR 15th in the United States in terms of social mobility, research achievement and community service, while US News and World Report ranked UCR's undergraduate program 89th in the nation based on peer assessment, student selectivity, financial resources, and other factors. UCR's extensive outreach and retention programs have contributed to its reputation as a "campus of choice" for minority students, including LGBT students.
