Welcome to the IUC Fraternity!

The International University of California (IUC) is a prestigious research university and a vibrant academic community. We take great pride in our contributions to global advancement, the dedication of our faculty to teaching excellence, creative endeavors, scholarship, and research. Our culture is deeply rooted in the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we work continually to foster a supportive and forward-thinking environment. As one of America’s leading universities, the mission and aspirations of IUC are captured in our mission statement:

As a premier research university with a strong commitment to undergraduate, postgraduate, doctorate, and honorary doctorate education, IUC aspires to lead in breakthrough research and world-class teaching. We aim to cultivate a diverse, dynamic community of learners and thinkers who emerge as leaders in every area of human endeavor.

We dare to dream big and embrace an entrepreneurial spirit. While we seek to make a meaningful impact in our home state of California, our ambitions extend globally through education, innovation, and service. We are devoted to broadening understanding, creating opportunities, generating knowledge, and improving the world we live in.

Our General Announcements outline the wide range of academic, research, and co-curricular opportunities available to students, as well as the policies that guide university life. But at IUC, we expect more than adherence to rules. We believe in living by our core values: Responsibility, Integrity, Community, and Excellence, alongside our guiding principles: Courage, Curiosity, a Culture of Care, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. These values are the foundation of everything we do—and are just as vital as the academic programs and policies outlined in our handbooks.

We are honored that you have chosen to join this dynamic and inspiring university. On behalf of our faculty and staff, I wish you every success in your academic journey, and I look forward to witnessing the great things you will achieve at IUC as you pursue your goals and dreams.
