[Edit this paragraph] University of California, Berkeley
(University of California, Berkeley)
American state colleges and universities. The oldest and most prestigious of the nine campuses of the University of California. 1868 was formed by the merger of California College and Agricultural and Mining Machinery College. The school was originally in Oakland, and 1873 moved to Berkeley near San Francisco. From 65438 to 0899, under the leadership of President Wheeler, the school expanded in scale and scope of disciplines, especially the disciplines of agriculture, humanities and engineering developed rapidly and its reputation gradually improved. From 1930 to 1960, brower served as the principal, vigorously improved the teaching quality and attracted outstanding scholars in nuclear physics, chemistry and biology. The school has 14 colleges of business administration, chemistry, engineering, environmental design, law, arts and sciences, library and information, natural resources, optometry, public health and social welfare, as well as 60 scientific research institutions such as the Graduate School of Education, Journalism and Public Policy and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The school implements 1 academic year in three semesters, with 4 years of undergraduate courses. After completing 180 credits, you can get a bachelor's degree. Graduate department is the largest graduate department in the United States, with13 graduate students, and about 500 graduate students receive doctoral degrees every year. 1982, the board of directors of the United States Joint Scientific Research Council rated its graduate education as the first in the United States, and 10 ranked among the top 30 disciplines, among which anthropology, chemistry, engineering, history, music, statistics and biostatistics ranked first. Under the leadership of the board of directors of the University of California, Berkeley is managed by the president and academic affairs are handled by the academic Committee. The enrollment conditions are strict, and it is stipulated that middle school graduates who apply for the school can enter the school with an average score of 3.3 or an average score of 500 or more in the aptitude test. Many scholars in this school have won the Nobel Prize.
The University of California, Berkeley, is a world-renowned academic institution, ranking among the best among many authoritative universities. In 2004, The Times Higher World University Ranking ranked the University of California at Berkeley as the second university in the world, second only to Harvard University, and ahead of many famous universities such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Oxford University and Stanford University. In the ranking of world universities made by Shanghai Jiaotong University in 2004 and 2005, the University of California, Berkeley, was ranked fourth in the world for two consecutive years.
The University of California at Berkeley is the best public university in the United States, enjoying a world-renowned academic reputation, and its research institutes rank among the top three in the United States. However, its undergraduate ranking has been ranked 2 1 among universities in China for nearly 10 years. Many high-quality public universities can't rank high because of various factors. In order not to "bury" these universities, Maxim's Weekly also ranked 50 national public universities. The top five universities in 2008 were University of California, Berkeley, University of Virginia, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Michigan and University of North Carolina, ranking among the top five public universities every year.
Postgraduate programs with doctoral degrees are the key indicators to evaluate the quality of American university education. In 2005, Newsweek reevaluated the graduate program of University of California, Berkeley, ranking first in the United States. Berkeley's 15 graduate programs are all among the top five in the United States. Followed by Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University and Princeton University.

[Edit this paragraph] Fourth, Industry-University-Research combines
Americans advocate pragmatism, which also affects the direction of running American universities. Founded 350 years ago.
Since Harvard University, social service has been an explicit or implicit goal of every institution of higher learning, which Americans usually regard as it.
Teaching, scientific research and social service are regarded as the three major functions of colleges and universities.
After the war, with the continuous development of the trend of alliance between universities and industrial enterprises, more and more industrial scientific research machines
High-tech industrial companies are built around universities with strong scientific research strength, thus forming "Boston"
-Cambridge Science and Industry Complex, Washington-Baltimore Science and Industry Complex, new york-
New Jersey Science and Industry Complex, San Francisco Palo Alto Science and Industry Complex and Los Angeles.
Alum-San Diego Science and Industry Complex "five huge regional science and industry complexes. Among them, around
"San Francisco-Palo Alto Science Industry" composed of Stanford University, University of California and California Institute of Technology
"Complex" is the largest regional scientific and industrial complex on the west coast of the United States.
American News and World Report once made a meaningful survey to see which schools can be beautiful.
China's future engineers provide the best education, and Berkeley ranks fourth. Berkeley strives to establish and attach importance to
Contact with large enterprises and companies has benefited schools, students and enterprises. For example, schools serve the society.
Remarkable results have been achieved. Because of its progress in computer-aided design and manufacturing research, it can operate semiconductors.
More than a dozen companies received donations and equipment worth more than $654.38 million. In addition, the school provides many opportunities.
, so that students can be exposed to the most advanced equipment and research work. At the same time, enterprises and companies are popular because of schools.
The prominent position of this subject has also opened the door for its graduates, thus benefiting both enterprises and students.
Verb compatibility and freedom of thought.
Compatibility and freedom of thought are the core of Berkeley's guiding ideology. The University of California is famous for its academics.
Art freedom and student autonomy are famous. In Berkeley, there is no bondage from conservative tradition, and there is no insurmountable clarity.
Discipline. In this free land, you can imagine everything and explore the future world freely; Here,
Even if others don't agree with you, your idea will always be respected. It is because of this free thought.
Let countless great ideas and discoveries be nurtured and matured here. The president of the University of California is not.
Cherish this precious tradition forever, even when this free thought seriously conflicts with the real world in the United States.
Presidents have never given up protecting the liberal tradition of the University of California.
Berkeley adheres to academic democracy, does not engage in seniority, and does not oppress people with celebrities and authority. Schools need new ones.
Teachers do not cooperate with famous professors in scientific research and writing papers, and encourage them to explore new research fields themselves. This one
It is wise to encourage competition and make the academic field full of vitality. Give full play to the teaching role in Berkeley
Professors will have considerable power in granting power. Professors decide the direction of education, participate in decision-making and promote practice.
The "main force" of giving.
Successive presidents of the University of California have encouraged students to stand on their own feet. President proll was once an active student movement.
Molecules, during his tenure, also strongly advocated the autonomy of students and teachers. During President Wheeler's administration, he initiated
The activity of "the role of senior students" managed by students themselves is to let senior students organize their own student unions and bring them by themselves.
Touching and leading junior students, let students' study, extracurricular activities and students' communication be left to the students themselves.
Hold on. In this way, on the one hand, students have been trained in college and have the ability to adapt to society; on the other hand
It also lightens the task of teacher management and enables teachers to concentrate on teaching instead of managing student affairs.
Distraction. Wheeler takes advantage of the situation and makes effective use of student organizations, so that their activities can be fully developed, exerted and influenced.
Expanding day by day, it eventually became one of the three major organizations of the University of California. Students participate in the school in the form of autonomous associations.
Management, on the one hand, conforms to the principle of academic autonomy, on the other hand, it is also conducive to the school to maintain a new situation, and
Not gradually conservative and behind the times.
It is precisely because of the tradition of freedom that Berkeley can maintain the spirit of continuous innovation and enterprising, which is new.
Discipline construction has been fully reflected. With the impact of the wave of science and technology on the education sector, Berkeley has taken various measures.
Many measures have been taken to set up various emerging discipline organizations outside the traditional discipline education organizations, and a large number of emerging ones have been opened.
Courses and research projects in this discipline, and adjust the scope of the original discipline, add a lot of new knowledge.
Branch field. In addition, the school also attaches great importance to the research of interdisciplinary and marginal disciplines, such as the College of Arts and Sciences.
A discipline has been established to study homosexuality, lesbianism and bisexuality.
