Admitted Graduate Student Events

The Division of Graduate Education is excited to host on-campus and virtual events for applicants admitted to state-supported master’s and doctoral programs for 2025 – 2026. In-person Grad Admitted Student Days will take place Thursday, March 6 – Friday, March 7, 2025, and Thursday, April 3 – Friday, April 4, 2025. The virtual Grad Admitted Student Event is scheduled for Thursday, March 20, 2025.

These events are designed to highlight our value for diversity, equity, and inclusion, connect admitted students with fellow Bruins, and address the next steps needed to secure a spot in our next graduate student cohorts. Attendees will have opportunities to meet faculty, staff, and current graduate students at presentations, panels, and networking events. On-campus programming includes an opportunity to attend a Student Organizations and Support Services Fair and take a “People’s History of UCLA” tour that shines light on the contributions of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) who helped shape UCLA into the university it is today. This tour will also highlight campus facilities and resources that foster graduate student success.

Admitted graduate students to state-supported master’s and doctoral programs for 2025 – 2026 will receive an email invitation to Graduate Admitted Students Days within three business days of being admitted. Please note: Grad Admitted Student Days are not mandatory events but are designed to help admitted graduate students decide if a UCLA education is the best fit.

For any questions regarding Grad Admitted Student Days, please contact the Diversity, Inclusion, and Admissions team at askgrad@grad.ucla.edu.
