More on University of California, Davis
Description from Wikipedia:
The University of California, Davis, commonly known as UC Davis, or just UCD, is a public, coeducational university located in the city of Davis, California.
UC Davis is one of the ten campuses of the University of California, and was established as the University Farm (of UC Berkeley) in 1905. It was formally established as a UC campus by the Regents of the University of California in 1959.
UC Davis has grown to become a prestigious public research university, especially in the arts, humanities, environmental science, life and health sciences, agricultural science and engineering disciplines. UC Davis also has renowned graduate programs, such as the UC Davis School of Medicine (which includes the UC Davis Medical Center), the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, the UC Davis School of Law, UC Davis Graduate Studies, and the UC Davis Graduate School of Management.
Washington Monthly ranks UC Davis 8th in the United States. U.S. News & World Report 2009 America's Best Colleges ranked UC Davis the 44th best "national university" in the United States and the 12th best public university in the United States. UC Davis is also a Public Ivy.
In addition to research and academics, UC Davis has a noteworthy athletics program; Aggie teams have recently joined NCAA Division I athletics. In its first year of full Division I status, 11 UC Davis teams qualified for NCAA post-season. Most of UC Davis's athletics teams play in the Big West Conference, but some (for the sports that the Big West Conference does not sponsor) also compete in the Great West Conference, Pacific-10 Conference, and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.
