Hi everyone! I'm trying to compile a list of universities in California. Could someone help me out and recommend a resource where I can find a comprehensive list? Maybe even one that includes information about each university, like student enrollment, average GPA, majors, etc. Thanks in advance!
Sure, a good starting point for your list would be the CollegeVine website. It provides detailed profiles of different universities across the US, including those in California.
The in-depth profiles often include details such as student enrollment, the most popular majors, average GPA of admitted students, and acceptance rates. The schools are categorized by type, such as Private or Public. If you are specifically interested in the State Universities in California, note that there are two systems: the University of California (UC) system and the California State University (CSU) system, each having multiple campuses across the state.
The UC system has nine campuses that offer undergraduate education: UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz.
The CSU system has 23 campuses: CSU Bakersfield, CSU Channel Islands, CSU Chico, CSU Dominguez Hills, CSU East Bay, CSU Fresno, CSU Fullerton, CSU Long Beach, CSU Los Angeles, CSU Monterey Bay, CSU Northridge, CSU Pomona, CSU Sacramento, CSU San Bernardino, CSU San Diego, CSU San Francisco, CSU San Jose, CSU San Luis Obispo, CSU San Marcos, CSU Sonoma, CSU Stanislaus, CSU Maritime Academy, and CSU Humboldt.
Private universities include but are not limited to Stanford, USC, and the Claremont Colleges. A comprehensive list would include many others, as California is rich with higher education opportunities.
You will need to navigate over the college profile section and filter your search by location (California).
Keep in mind, while CollegeVine has a wealth of information, there might still be universities or colleges not listed, so cross-referencing with other sources might be beneficial. To make a comprehensive list, consider visiting the Department of Education's College Navigator website for a full list of institutions. Happy researching!
