Earl Warren College is one of the six undergraduate colleges at the University of California at San Diego and is named after the three term California Governor and former Chief Justice of the United States Earl Warren. Warren College emphasizes the connection between one's undergraduate education and one's personal and career goals. Founded in 1974, Warren College seeks to create students that are well-rounded and as a result, very desirable in the post-collegiate job market. By dividing all majors into math/physical sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, Warren College allows students to pursue a major of their choice while also requiring six classes in a specific major in each of the other fields (e.g., a history major would take six classes in political science and six classes in biology as well). The idea behind this general education plan is to foster a greater well-roundedness in a college student in hopes of making them more viable in the job market.
Warren College is home to a large number of engineering students because it has tailored the structure of their general education requirements slightly differently for students pursuing an undergraduate degree in engineering. Coincidentally, Warren also has the largest student population, with well over 4,000 undergraduate students, comprising over one fifth of the college population. In 2006, the college has added a new building dedicated to the study of Information Technology. Warren College's core writing course incorporates general college level writing for students over a 2 quarter period.
