The California Alliance for Minority Participation is designed for students in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.

CAMP-UCR was established at the University of California, Riverside in 1994 and is funded by the National Science Foundation and the University of California.

CAMP-UCR is a program that works to encourage students of color to successfully complete undergraduate science degrees and further pursue their studies at the graduate and professional level.

CAMP exists at eight of the UC campuses and at various California State Universities, California Community Colleges, independent colleges and universities, and national laboratories that together work to achieve a goal of doubling the numbers of minority students receiving a B.S. or a B.A. degree in the many science disciplines.

The Statewide Operation of CAMP is administered from the University of California, Irvine.

CAMP-UCR participants will benefit from on-going academic support activities throughout their undergraduate education. CAMP-UCR will provide a number of services to participants including:

- Research opportunities (upper division students)
- Faculty and Peer mentoring
- Pre-academic advising
- Seminars given by distinguished faculty members and UCR alumni
- Access to CAMP-UCR Student Center
- Social activities
