University of California As one of the leading body of higher education, the University of California system, started in 1869, includes more than 214,000 students and 170,000 faculty and staff, with over 1.5 million alumni.
University of California consists of ten campuses: Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz.
According to the California Master Plan for Higher Education, adopted by the state in 1960, University of California was designated as the primary state-supported academic research institution and gave exclusive jurisdiction in public higher education for doctoral degrees (with the exception that CSU can award joint doctorates) and for instruction in law, medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine.
Further, The Master Plan established an admissions principle of universal access and choice, assigning UC to select its freshmen students from the top one-eighth (12.5%) of the high school graduating class. However, for some campuses the top one-eighth does not guarantee the admission. However, it might be feasible to transfer to the campuses of his/her choice if one chooses to attend one of the 108 community college campuses as the UC campuses set aside upper division places for and give priority in the admissions process to eligible California Community College transfer students.
