Over the next four years, the College is excited to continue to grow its undergraduate student population, faculty/staff, and infrastructure.Each of UC San Diego’s undergraduate colleges are centered around a unique intellectual theme. Built on a theme of, "Community & Engagement," Eighth College’s academic mission is to introduce students to critical community engagement in the context of addressing structural racism and anti-Blackness.

Eighth College's general education program prioritizes awareness of how historical factors interplay with current conditions in order to work collectively towards community-centered solutions to today’s most challenging problems.

Students in Eighth College will be prepared to respond to known challenges such as the following: structural racism; widening disparities in economic wealth; compromised health and wellbeing; climate disruption; ecological degradation; the globalization of chronic and infectious disease types and vectors; and the declining resilience in the capacity of human settlements and working lands to adaptively respond to increasingly frequent and devastating worldwide shocks.
