When you grow up dreaming of becoming a Trojan, and then become one, you just can’t seem to bring yourself to try on anything in powder blue, let alone wear it. As an adult,  I chose to become a Bruin when I attended the doctoral program at UCLA. I have fond memories and met incredible colleagues at UCLA. This is my tribute to Bruins everywhere. 

Bar none, UCLA is a top academic research institution AND top DI athletic program!

UCLA  has the perfect combination of attracting the serious student who is also a die hard advocate of the Bruins! Bruins spend their days working to solve world problems and spend their free time donning their favorite powder blue shirts. You really can’t go wrong with choosing any major, while also knowing there is plenty to get involved with on this top notch campus!

The DI athletics – WOW – no other university has won more National Championships than UCLA. Bruins have earned 133 Championships. That’s right – 133!! 

You might be surprised that the men’s team with the most national titles is: Men’s Volleyball with 19, followed by Men’s tennis with 16, then men’s basketball coming in at 11!

As for our female Bruins – the softball team has earned 11 national championships, women’s water polo has earned 7, and the darlings of gymnastics have won 6 national titles. 

Men’s Soccer team has won 4 NCAA Championships and is always in the hunt for the next one. 

If you are a smart student committed to the highest level of talent on the field, gym, or court - UCLA is worth a second look.
