The qualitative success of UCI’s faculty, staff and students has been matched by an equally impressive growth in the enrollments and facilities of the campus, especially in recent years. A three-term average of 24,100 students enrolled at UCI in 2004-05, including undergraduate, graduate and medical students, and medical residents, and another 25,000 students enrolled through our extension programs for Continuing Education. UCI offers 67 different bachelor’s degrees and 97 graduate degrees ranging from the master’s to the Ph.D., and a record number of 6,400 degrees was awarded in 2005, compared to 3,880 in 1998. There are currently 1,400 teaching faculty in the Academic Senate at UCI, with 990 in tenure-track positions as of fall quarter 2004. That number of tenure-track faculty is up from 760 in 1998, which means that approximately one-fourth arrived at UCI during the past six years. Career staff members at UCI, including the medical center, numbered 4,600 in 1997 and 6,900 in 2004, making UCI Orange County’s second-largest employer. The annual budget of $1.3 billion also makes UCI one of the post powerful economic forces in the region, with an estimated economic impact of approximately $3 billion per year.
