Campuses & Majors
With a mix of world-class research, public service and teaching, the University of California is one of the most prestigious universities in America. The university offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 200 graduate programs.
Below are all the campuses with their associated majors:
UC Berkeley
UC Berkeley is the oldest campus in the UC system and one of its most prestigious. Located in Berkeley, CA and founded in 1868, UC Berkeley is considered one of the top public universities in the world.
UC Berkeley offers more than 100 majors across seven colleges: College of Letters & Science; Haas School of Business; College of Engineering; College of Environmental Design; Goldman School of Public Policy; College of Natural Resources (CNR); College Of Optometry (CO).
UC Davis
UC Davis is a public research and land-grant university in Davis, California, United States. It is one of 10 general campuses of the University of California system. UC Davis offers more than 100 majors, interdisciplinary minors and graduate programs in various disciplines, including agricultural sciences, biological systems; engineering, human development, behaviour and society; physical sciences; and social sciences, including economics and sociology.
UC Davis’ academic strengths include its large number of graduate programs (more than 50) with a strong emphasis on research and undergraduate education through its prestigious Colleges Program, which allows students to take courses outside their central subject area while still earning credit towards graduation.
UC Irvine
UC Irvine is a public research university in Irvine, California, United States. It is one of the ten campuses in the University of California system. The university offers 98 undergraduate degrees and 98 graduate and professional degrees. UC Irvine has been consistently ranked among America’s top universities by U.S. News & World Report, Forbes and Washington Monthly.[1] The university was established in 1965 with a founding gift of 1,000 acres (405 ha) from the Irvine Company; its name references James A. University’s Mission Statement: “UCI contributes to society through high-quality research that advances knowledge; through education that develops critical thinking skills for our students; through community engagement that benefits Orange County citizens; and through partnerships with industry.”[2]
UC Los Angeles
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is a public research university in Los Angeles, California. It became the Southern Branch of the University of California in 1919, making it the second-oldest undergraduate campus of the ten-campus system after UC Berkeley. UCLA offers an extensive array of graduate professional degrees and graduate programs at its four schools: Arts & Architecture; Business Administration; Fine Arts; Humanities & Social Sciences; Nursing; and Engineering & Applied Science.
UC Merced
UC Merced is the newest campus of the University of California system. It’s in Merced, California, in the San Joaquin Valley on Highway 99 between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The school was founded in 2005 and became an official part of the UC system in 2008; it has since become one of its ten largest campuses by enrollment (with over 13,000 students).
UC Merced offers an array of majors at all levels–from bachelor’s degrees to doctoral programs–in disciplines ranging from art history to chemistry to computer science; however, many students choose to focus on business management or natural sciences like biology or ecology because these are areas where employers are often looking for qualified candidates who have graduated from college.
UC Riverside
UCR is a top-20 public research university and is the only UC campus with a school of medicine. The campus was founded in 1954 as the first general campus in the UC system.
UCR students can choose from more than 100 majors, including engineering, business administration and education; there’s also an emphasis on undergraduate education here–the average class size for core classes is about 300 students per class! Students who want to pursue graduate study can do so at UCR’s Graduate School or its School of Medicine (which offers doctorates).
UC San Diego
UC San Diego is one of the most prestigious universities in the world. It is a public research university located in San Diego, California. It was founded in 1960 as San Diego State University by the state legislature as part of the California Master Plan for Higher Education.
The campus’ first chancellor was Daniel G. Aldrich, who served from 1960 to 1966.[5] In 1969, SDSU established a College of Letters (what would later become the College of Arts & Letters) and Science; this would be followed by the establishment of an undergraduate business school (now known as Rady School of Management) in 1972,[6][7] and graduate programs built around research institutes such as Scripps Institution of Oceanography.[8][9] The name change also reflected an expanded mission[10]: UC San Diego sought to create new education and research approaches within its community through interdisciplinary collaboration rather than just focusing on pure scholarship alone.
UC San Francisco (UCSF) Affiliated Hospitals and Medical Centers
The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) is a public research university and medical centre in San Francisco, California. Established in 1864 as a teaching hospital, UCSF offers graduate training across all health sciences and houses the nation’s third-largest medical school with over 700 students.
The university has been affiliated with the nearby San Francisco General Hospital since its inception; today, it is one of two major teaching hospitals for UCSF’s School of Medicine and its only adult trauma centre besides Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. In addition to providing patient care services at its facilities, UCSF operates several affiliated hospitals throughout Northern California that offer access to specialized care unavailable on campus or through traditional insurance plans such as MediCal (California Medicaid).
UC Santa Barbara
UC Santa Barbara is a public research university in Santa Barbara, California. It is one of the ten campuses of the University of California system. It offers bachelor’s degrees through its College of Letters and Science, graduate degrees through its Graduate School of Education & Information Studies (GSEIS), professional degrees through its School of Medicine and School of Law, and postdoctoral research fellowships through its Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies (ICB).
The campus was founded as an independent institution on February 24th 1891, as Santa Barbara State Normal School by Thomas Kendall; however, it opened on September 23rd 1913, due to financial difficulties during construction.[1] It became part of UC in 1919 after Gov. Friend Richardson signed Assembly Bill No. 536 into law, which created UC Regents’ Systemwide Council on Education Policy.[2]
