Student and Faculty Visitors to the Institute of Transportation Studies at UCLA
Los Angeles and UCLA are enormously rich intellectual environments, and
the Institute of Transportation Studies encourages faculty and students from
other universities to visit UCLA. In encouraging visitors to our program
we seek to foster a diverse intellectual environment of interaction among
students and scholars of cities and planning from a wide variety of disciplinary
and geographic backgrounds. UCLA operates on the academic
quarter system; visitors may be in residence in the Institute of
Transportation Studies for a minimum of one, but no more than four quarters. Most
teaching and student activity occurs during the fall, winter, and spring
quarters; the summers are quieter and devoted mostly to research.
TYPES OF VISITORS
There are four types of visitors to the Institute of Transportation Studies; each is described in turn below.
