The University of California was chartered in 1868 and established at
Berkeley in 1875. South Hall, an ivy-covered Gothic-revival building of red
brick, is the only survivor of the nineteenth century campus buildings. Today,
the Berkeley campus is the senior member of the nine-campus University of
California System. Berkeley offers a full range of academic majors in programs.
In a national survey published in fall 1992, Berkeley placed highest of all
public universities in ranking that included five attributes: reputation,
selectivity, faculty resources, financial resources, and student satisfaction.
More students who earn bachelor's degrees at Berkeley complete Ph. D's than
graduates of any other university in the country.
Undergraduate students can choose from more than 5,000 different courses
and over 100 majors or they can design their own individual majors. The graduate
division offers professional and academic degrees in more than 100 majors.
Aiding students in their course work is a campus network of twenty-four
libraries, including one especially for undergraduates. There are also many
support facilities and services available, such as the Student Learning
Center,
financial aid counseling, housing assistance, graduate and professional
school advising, and career placement assistance. The 1, 200-acre campus
stretches from downtown Berkeley through wooded hills that overlook San
Francisco Bay. The city of Berkeley (population 105,000) offers the lively
background of one of America's more culturally diverse and politically
adventurous small cities. The surrounding San Francisco Bay area provides an
abundance of recreational and cultural events.
