John Muir College



UCSD offers you the exciting opportunities of a great research university andthe supportive and friendly environment of a small liberal arts college. At UCSD, you’ll study with world-class faculty who work at the cutting edge in their fields, whether it’s in the sciences, arts, humanities, engineering, or social sciences. As a Muir student, you’ll have the flexibility to design a general education program that’s best suited to your individual goals, interests, and talents. You’ll also be part of a strong community of students who are active, involved, and have fun at the same time as they’re making the most of UCSD’s academic challenges.




Muir is a special place where generations of students have felt recognized and valued as individuals and experienced a strong sense of belonging within this large research university. The College’s motto, “Celebrating the Independent Spirit,” recognizes the achievements of our namesake John Muir and of our talented and enterprising students and alumni.


Muir College is located on the western edge of UC San Diego along North Torrey Pines Road and is the closest of the UC San Diego colleges to the beach. Several of its buildings, including freshman residences Tioga and Tenaya Halls, are the tallest on campus, with views from the upper stories overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Scripps Coastal Reserve. Torrey pines, Monterey pines, and other trees give Muir the sense of being a campus in the forest.
