UC, the full name of the University of California, is a university administrative system composed of 65,438+00 public universities in California. It is the most influential public university system in the world and is known as "the model of public higher education".

The University of California originated from California College in Oakland in 1853, and was officially renamed as "University of California" in March of 1868. 1873, the school moved. In memory of George Berkeley, one of the greatest philosophers in the18th century, the new university town was named "Berkeley City", and then gradually opened branches in Los Angeles and other places. From 65438 to 0952, the University of California, as an administrative system, gradually separated from the University of California, Berkeley. At the same time, campuses all over California have gradually upgraded to independent universities at the same level as Berkeley.

Today, the University of California has developed into a university system with 65,438+00 public universities, which has a far-reaching impact on the development of the world. These campuses include UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC San Francisco, UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz and UC Riverside.
