Office of Academic Programs

UC Merced's Office of Academic Programs (UCMAP) is dedicated to excellence in providing high-quality programs that expand educational opportunities for the diverse communities of the San Joaquin Valley.

The success of our programs rests on the partnerships we have created throughout the Valley. They include partnerships with local chambers of commerce, regional economic development organizations, county offices of education and institutions of higher education.

Currently a number of programs are available through the Division of Professional Studies, Summer Session and the Small Business Development Center Network.
