Education and research as pioneering as California itself From all backgrounds, ethnicities, and incomes, UC attracts the best and brightest. UC undergraduates come from all over California, and they work hard to make it to college. Over 40 percent of UC students come from low-income families. UC's faculty are the drivers behind innovations in biotechnology, computer science, art, and architecture and they bring that knowledge, that greatness, directly to the classroom.

Similarly, many of the state’s leading businesses are based on UC technology, founded by our faculty or led by UC graduates.
