UC Davis Description

UC Davis is one of the nation's top public research universities and is part of the world's pre-eminent public university system. The campus is set in the heart of the Central Valley, close to the state capital and San Francisco Bay Area. As one of the last "small-town universities," we cherish our close relationships on campus and within the Davis community.

The central purpose of UC Davis, as a comprehensive research university, is the generation, advancement, dissemination and application of knowledge. In this, UC Davis is committed to developing and sustaining leading programs in

* The arts, humanities, biological and physical sciences and social sciences”disciplines at the core of all universities;
* Agricultural and environmental disciplines and engineering;
* Professional studies in education, law, management, medicine and veterinary medicine.

Academics at UC Davis challenge, stimulate and inspire. We offer more than 100 undergraduate majors and 60 graduate programs — the largest variety on any University of California campus. Many of our programs are nationally ranked — not surprising when you consider the number of internationally known, award-winning faculty who bring their knowledge and enthusiasm to the classroom.
