The University of California (UC) is California's system of public research universities. Headquartered in Oakland, the system is composed of ten campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz. The system is the state's land-grant university. Under the California Master Plan for Higher Education, the University of California is a part of the state's three-system public postsecondary education plan, which also includes the California Community Colleges and California State University systems. The ten campuses have a combined enrollment of 299,407 students, with 26,100 faculty members and 192,400 staff members, and more than 2.5 million alumni. Nine campuses enroll undergraduate and graduate students, while UC San Francisco enrolls only graduate and professional students in the medical and health sciences.
