Respecting Difference, Creating Opportunity
The way we see it, the world is just too big to be bound by narrow perspectives. Davis—both on campus and in the community—is vibrant, diverse, welcoming and committed to fostering opportunity.

#1 for Diversity
UC Davis is ranked 1st in the nation for diversity, inclusiveness and internationalization
The Forensic Science Graduate Program includes students from across the country and all over the world, creating a rich variety of cultures, backgrounds and interests.
We are committed to promoting an environment in which all students, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ethnicity, national origin, ability, visa status, religion, age or economic background, are welcome, well supported, and given the tools they need to thrive intellectually.
