MECPS Graduate Program at UCI

Our first virtual MECPS Meet & Greet session is just around the corner, and we are excited to start connecting with our incoming students.

These sessions give new students an opportunity to meet classmates, connect with MECPS staff, and learn more about the journey ahead💬🎓

We are looking forward to welcoming our newest cohort and counting down the days until June 30! 💙

As our students continue making progress on their capstone projects and we look ahead to the 2026 MECPS Symposium, we're taking a moment to revisit some memories from 2025✨
