The University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley, Berkeley, Cal, or California)[10][11] is a public land-grant research university in Berkeley, California, United States. Founded in 1868 and named after the Anglo-Irish philosopher George Berkeley, it is the state's first land-grant university and is the founding campus of the University of California system.[12]

Berkeley has an enrollment of more than 45,000 students. The university is organized around fifteen schools of study on the same campus, including the College of Chemistry, the College of Engineering, and the Haas School of Business. It is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".[13] The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory was originally founded as part of the university.[14]

Berkeley was a founding member of the Association of American Universities and was one of the original eight "Public Ivy" schools. In 2021, the federal funding for campus research and development exceeded $1 billion.[15] Thirty-two libraries also compose the Berkeley library system which is the sixth largest research library by number of volumes held in the United States.[16][17][18]

Berkeley students compete in thirty varsity athletic sports, and the university is one of eighteen full-member institutions in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Berkeley's athletic teams, the California Golden Bears, have also won 107 national championships, 196 individual national titles, and 223 Olympic medals (including 121 gold).[19][20] Berkeley's alumni, faculty, and researchers include 59 Nobel laureates[21] and 19 Academy Award winners,[22] and the university is also a producer of Rhodes Scholars,[23] Marshall Scholars,[24] and Fulbright Scholars.[25]
