2009 CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS Men's Golf Media Guide 27 THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA

SIMPLY THE BEST here is no other way to aptly describe America’s top public university. There is no T other way to describe one of the elite aca- demic settings in the world – especially one that also includes one of America’s most successful athletic departments. The University of California blends the best of all worlds. Overlooking the scenic San Francisco Bay and ranked as the nation’s top public university by the U.S. News and World Report, the fl agship cam- pus of the state of California also features an athletic program that annually fi nishes among the leaders in the Directors’ Cup standings, which rates the overall success of America’s athletic departments. Cal attracts what many believe to be the fi nest appli- cant pool in the United States. The university features a diverse student-body population. The University of California offers 300 degree programs, and 35 of the school’s 36 graduate programs are ranked among America’s top 10. Cal’s 35 programs among the top 10 is No. 1 among all universities in the country, as is its 32 “distinguished” programs, as rated by the National Research Council. The library is ranked third in the country, as judged by the Association of Research Libraries with 10 mil- lion volumes in 32 campus libraries. The faculty features seven Nobel Laureates, 130 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 28 MacArthur Fellows, 76 Fulbright Scholars, four Pu- litzer Prize winners and more Guggenheim Fellows (357) than any other university in America.
