With cognitive science and anatomy leading the pack, followed by biochemistry and general biological sciences, health sciences are popular majors at UCSD. UCSD's Medical School and its hospital and healthcare system, with prominent research and clinical facilities, also make UCSD a strong choice for the study of health sciences.
UCSD is home to a large number of social science majors, with many pursuing degrees in international and global studies, quantitative economics, political science and government, psychology, and sociology. In these disciplines, students use quantitative data and qualitative observations to delve into big questions about social systems, social policy, and human behavior.
At UC San Diego mechanical, electrical, structural, computer, chemical, aerospace, and biomedical engineering are all roughly equal in popularity. Together, they make UCSD a prominent institution for virtually all branches of engineering. These majors typically encompass lots of mathematical applications and practical, solutions-focused research and experimentation.
At UC San Diego computer science ranks as one of the more prominent degree programs for undergraduates. In today's world of emerging tech-centric innovations, computer science degrees can open doors to diverse roles across virtually all sectors, making it a uniquely versatile and dynamic field of study.
The study of mathematics can open doors to theoretical and academic pursuits as well as a wide range of qualifications for working in diverse STEM fields. General applied mathematics and other branches of math study are the most popular degree tracks in mathematics at UCSD.
With robust health programming and medical research and patient care facilities for graduate students, UCSD is also a great setting for students pursuing undergraduate degrees in public health. International public health and general public health are two prominent concentrations popular at UCSD.
