UC Campuses

The campuses of the University of California provide exciting environments that foster world-class educational and research opportunities and generate a wide range of benefits and services that touch the lives of Californians throughout the state.

The UC family includes more than 201,000 students, 160,000 faculty and staff, 35,000 retirees and more than 1.2 million living alumni.

The UC system's tenth campus at Merced—the nation's first public research university to be built in the 21st century—is scheduled to open in 2005.

UC is also actively involved in locations beyond its campuses, national laboratories, medical centers and neighboring communities — in places throughout California, around the world and online.
