The Thomas Haider Program in Biomedical Sciences offers a joint medical degree program with [[University of California, Los Angeles|UCLA]]. The first two years of medical instruction are taught on the UCR campus, and the biomedical teaching complex consists of two classrooms located adjacent to the campus greenhouses. Third and fourth year clerkships are conducted at UCLA and its affiliated hospitals along with the rest of the UCLA medical school class. Students admitted in the program receive a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences from UCR and an MD degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. In the past, the UCLA program was only offered to biomedical science majors, but effective 2002, all qualified majors may apply to the program during their senior year. Up to twenty-four of each year's applicants are chosen to attend medical school at UCR and UCLA. Students not selected are still eligible to apply to other medical schools.
 
UCR's library system is divided into general collections, music, media, and science specialties. General collections reside in the Tomás Rivera library, and science and technology literature are stowed in the Science library building. Of note, UCR is host to the world's largest academic collection of [[Star Trek]] material<ref>{{cite web | title= J.
