In 1970, UCI established the first social ecology program in the UC system. Conceived by psychology professor Arnold Binder, the multidisciplinary unit would link intellectuals at the university to recurring problems in the world. Today the School of Social Ecology comprises three departments: criminology, law & society; psychology & social behavior; and planning, policy & design.
