It Begins with Innovation<br />

1865. A visionary Yale graduate sees the educational potential in the newly-admitted state<br />

along the Pacific Coast. He sets out to build a university there, and a century later, the UC<br />

system transforms education and becomes a model for public universities across the<br />

country.<br />

1965. <strong>The</strong> farsighted UC Regents identify the Irvine Ranch as an ideal location for a new<br />

and vital link in the UC chain. <strong>The</strong> Irvine campus transparently integrates into the<br />

surrounding community, and carries on the UC spirit <strong>of</strong> commitment to cutting-edge<br />

research, innovative thinking, and forward-moving education.<br />

Today. Among the fastest-growing campuses in the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> California system, UC<br />

Irvine increasingly tops student lists <strong>of</strong> college choices, and continues to admit top-tier<br />

students. As the county’s third-largest employer, UC Irvine generates an annual economic<br />

impact on Orange County <strong>of</strong> more than $3 billion. <strong>The</strong> campus is recognized as a driving<br />

force for innovation and discovery that impacts the local, national and global<br />

communities.<br />

Tomorrow. At the brink <strong>of</strong> another new era, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Paul</strong> <strong>Merage</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong> at UC<br />

Irvine is fast becoming a premier business school. Our pioneering curriculum and worldclass<br />

faculty are attracting business leaders, the best and brightest students and the<br />

global companies that recruit them. We continue to gather accolades and ever-higher<br />

rankings from sources including <strong>Business</strong>Week, U.S. News, and the Financial Times. As the<br />

youngest university with a business school ranked among the top 50 MBA programs,<br />

we’re changing the face <strong>of</strong> business education.<br />
