Eleanor Roosevelt College

Eleanor Roosevelt College (ERC) is one of the six colleges located on the campus at the University of California, San Diego. The college was named after former American First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who was a humanitarian as well as a champion of international cooperation and a major member of the early United Nations.

The college system at UC San Diego combines the intimacy of a small institution with the intellectual breadth and
resources of a large research university. Founded in 1988 as UC San Diego’s fifth college, Eleanor Roosevelt College was named in 1994 for the former First Lady, delegate to the United Nations, chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights, and member of the Peace Corps Advisory Council. The college currently includes approximately 3,500 undergraduates from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Like each of the other undergraduate colleges at UC San Diego, Eleanor Roosevelt College is led by its own provost, and has its own dean of student affairs, resident dean, dean of academic advising and director of the Making of the Modern World program. This arrangement provides students with opportunities to know and be known by classmates, faculty, and staff, as well as with a broad range of opportunities to become involved in the life of the larger university.

Students at Eleanor Roosevelt College develop an unusually strong sense of intellectual and social community as they complete the Making of the Modern World (MMW) sequence. The courses weave together knowledge from many fields, bringing students forward through time, toward an appreciation of the complex tapestry of the world in which we live.

The academic work of ERC students is further shaped by the requirements for their chosen field of study, selected from among the more than 150 majors available at UC San Diego. About one-third of each entering class at ERC will spend time abroad.

UC San Diego Parent and Family Giving

Triton parents and family members know the value of the education their students are receiving at UC San Diego. In recognizing this, many choose to invest in the university as a way to enhance their students’ college experience.  Gifts to the Parents Fund, and/or the individual college’s Provost’s Fund, help maintain and strengthen the university’s overall academic program by providing a pool of flexible dollars for each of the six colleges: Muir, Marshall, Revelle, Roosevelt, Sixth and Warren.
