It offers both pre-professional training and general education in the departments of chemistry, earth system science, mathematics, and physics and astronomy.

The UCI Math Circle, like many others, is oriented towards developing mathematical skills and thinking in youth populations.

It provides academic and career guidance to undergraduates, as well as opportunities to meet and interact with guests or professors from the field of Chemistry.

The club provides students with information regarding the Earth System Science major as well as networking opportunities.

The club conducts and organizes events to help students develop interest in physics, as well as providing areas for study.

[14] Frank Sherwood Rowland was one of the original professors for the University of California, Irvine and became the first Chairman of the Chemistry Department in August 1964.

He retired from his Chairman position five years later, but by 1973 Rowland changed his research focus from radiochemistry to atmospheric chemistry.

In 1995, atmospheric chemist Rowland, along with his colleague Mario Molina received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for predicting and then proving that the ozone layer was being depleted by chlorofluorocarbons, common compounds found in aerosol sprays of the time.

[15] Dr. Frederick Reines (1918-1998) along with his colleague Clyde Cowan in 1956 developed a method to detect, and confirmed the existence of, the neutrino, one of the most elusive subatomic particles.

Dr. Rose, along with colleagues at the Israel Institute of Technology discovered a major pathway in the body which proteins are regulated by degradation.
