Students often expect that in classes, there will always be a right answer.

Current and prospective graduate students now have the option to earn degrees in mechanical engineering, after the UC system and the WASC Senior College and University Commission recently granted accreditation for both master’s and doctoral degrees.

Mechanical engineering students at UC Merced previously could obtain Ph.D.s in engineering under the Individual Graduate Program umbrella, which allowed them to have degrees with an emphasis in mechanical engineering.

One of the most stunning sights in Yosemite National Park has nothing to do with granite. It’s the night sky, Milky Way and all.

But light pollution within the park can diminish that experience for visitors as well as change the circadian rhythms of flora and fauna.

When she began her journey at UC Merced, Sheena Truong had the future planned out. She’d graduate, go to dental school and become an orthodontist. But Merced had more to offer — and in a roundabout way, it became her destination.

Researchers at UC Merced are making a big deal
