UCCity: With You From College Prep to Career Success

We’re committed to ensuring every internship, campus job, and academic experience at UCCity doesn’t just fill your resume—it fuels your career goals. From day one, we’ll help you build the skills, connections, and confidence to thrive in the role you want.

The Resources You Need, When You Need Them

Whether you’re seeking mental health support, navigating basic needs (like food or housing), craving academic tutoring, or looking to join campus activities, UCCity has you covered. Our searchable Resource Hub makes it easy to find exactly what you need—no more scrolling through endless pages. Need help narrowing it down? Our student success coaches are just a message away to guide you.


A Campus Built for Belonging & Connection

With six residential colleges and dozens of tight-knit communities, UCCity feels like a small campus wrapped in the opportunities of a top research university—and that’s by design. From the shared values we uphold (collaboration, equity, curiosity) to our unique college system (each with its own culture and traditions), we work tirelessly to ensure every student—undergrad, grad, transfer, or first-gen—feels welcome, supported, and seen.


Our Best Career Tip? Start Strategically

No matter where you are in your UCCity journey—fresh out of high school or deep into grad studies—start investing in your career early. Make the Career Center your second home: visit during your first quarter to map your goals, and keep coming back. Mark our annual Career Fairs (fall and spring) on your calendar, sign up for resume workshops, and book mock interview sessions—these small steps add up to big opportunities.


We Match Your Passions to Real-World Experience

Your interests—whether in research, academia, creative fields, or entrepreneurship—deserve to be tested and nurtured. We connect you to internships, campus research roles, and student-led projects that align with what you love. Undergrads? 85% of you will complete at least one internship before graduation, many with our 400+ industry partners. Grads? Our paid fellowship programs and skills-building workshops prepare you for careers in academia and beyond—because your potential isn’t limited to one path.

Well-Being Is the Foundation of Success

Just like our campus mascot, the Coyote, thrives in a healthy ecosystem, we know you can’t do your best work without support for your whole self. UCCity prioritizes holistic well-being: our Wellness Center offers counseling, stress-management workshops, and nutrition services; our Basic Needs Pantry provides free groceries and hygiene products; and our campus recreation centers (with yoga classes, hiking clubs, and sports leagues) keep your body active. When you’re healthy—physically, socially, emotionally—you’ll excel in class, at work, and in life.


We Connect You to Top Employers

When it’s time to launch your career, UCCity opens doors. Over 3,500 employers—including tech leaders (Google, Tesla), healthcare innovators (CityMed Health), financial powerhouses (Pacific Trust Bank), and sustainability pioneers (EcoSolve)—post jobs and internships exclusively on our UCCity Career Portal, seeking talent like yours. And they don’t just stay online: each year, 600+ recruiters visit campus for interviews, info sessions, and career fairs—meaning your first big interview could be steps from your dorm.


Polish Your Pitch: Resumes & Interviews That Stand Out

Our Career Center team doesn’t just “review” resumes—we help you craft targeted documents that highlight your UCCity experiences (that research project? That campus job? They matter!). Need interview practice? Use our video mock interview tool to record yourself, then debrief with a career advisor to refine your answers, body language, and confidence. We’ll make sure you’re ready to shine when it counts.


A Division Dedicated to Your Success

Students are at the center of everything we do. Every program, event, resource, and initiative is designed to support your growth—and we’re fierce advocates for marginalized students, working to break down barriers and ensure equitable access to every UCCity opportunity. Your success isn’t just a goal for us—it’s our mission.


At UCCity, you’re never alone on your journey. We’re with you from your first college prep workshop to your first post-grad paycheck—and every step in between.
