University of California, Los Angeles

UCLA has developed this document to provide potential students and their parents with information about our Campus. Modeled on the current efforts of several national organizations, these data are presented in a similar format for ease in comparing institutions. These efforts are a response to the Federal call for universities to be more open and accountable, and also as an alternative data source to the various college rankings so hotly debated in today's media. Students and parents should have more control in making their own decisions about which aspects are important in selecting potential universities to complete their undergraduate education. This document is meant to provide basic information across a range of Campus issues, and be a gateway to the many Campus web sites that deal with these issues in greater detail.
