University of California, San Diego

The San Diego campus was formally established in 1961, but its affiliation with the University goes back to the late 1800s when UC zoologists established a marine field station in coastal La Jolla. This facility later became the world renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the nucleus around which the campus was built.

Since then, the campus has grown to include five undergraduate colleges, a medical school, the School of Engineering, the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific Studies, four libraries on the general campus in addition to the libraries at Scripps and the Medical Center, the Center for Magnetic Recording Research, a research facility in molecular biology, and a super computer facility.

Today, the San Diego campus is known for its excellent undergraduate and graduate programs. The percentage of UCSD graduates who go on to earn Ph.D. and M.D. degree is the highest among U.S. public universities and colleges, according to two national studies. The impressive variety of faculty research and development projects has put the campus on the cutting edge of creativity and discovery in science, technology, the arts, and humanities.

UCSD sits high on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the beautiful seaside town of La Jolla (population 32,800). The campus buildings are surrounded by groves of trees and lawns ideal for strolling and relaxing. The nearby coastal communities boast some of the finest beaches, restaurants, and galleries in the nation.
