Celebrating the first

Century of the UCLA College

UCLA was founded in 1919, its origins in a two-year teachers college in the orange groves of Hollywood. It would take an ambitious transformation to convert the Los Angeles Normal School into the vast educational enterprise that would become UCLA — and creating the College of Letters and Science in 1923 was the major milestone in that process.

As we honor our first century, join us in exploring 100 reasons why the UCLA College is the beating heart of the nation’s No. 1 public university.
