This program includes most of the direct instructional resources associated with the schools and colleges located on the general campuses. Classroom and laboratory instruction, instructional technology, online education, and joint scholarly research activities of students and faculty are included.

Health Sciences

This program includes instruction in 17 schools that provide education in various health fields to students preparing for careers in health care, teaching, and research. The health science schools are located on six campuses and include six schools of medicine (Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego and San Francisco), two schools of dentistry, three schools of nursing, two schools of public health, two schools of pharmacy, one school of veterinary medicine, and one school of optometry. In addition, programs in medical education are conducted at Berkeley, Fresno, and the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science in Los Angeles.

Summer Session

This program includes instruction for non-matriculated students who enroll in summer sessions.

University Extension

This program includes classes, short courses, seminars, field studies, and similar activities throughout the state and in several foreign countries. University Extension has open admissions, optional credit, and free student selection of curriculum. Most of Extension's offerings are designed to serve the continuing educational needs of professionals.

RESEARCH

This program includes research activities. The university is designated by the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education as the primary state-supported academic agency for research.

PUBLIC SERVICE

This program includes a broad range of activities organized by the university to serve students, teachers, and staff in K-12 schools and community colleges, as well as the public in general. The program includes student academic preparation programs and educational partnerships, through which the university works with schools and other partners to help certain groups of students meet the standards of academic preparation needed to be successful in higher education and the workforce. The program also includes Cooperative Extension, which provides applied research and educational programs in agriculture and natural resources, family and consumer sciences, and community resource development.
