University of California-San Francisco

In 1873 Toland Medical College and the brand new California College of Pharmacy agreed to affiliate with the fledgling University of California across the Bay. With the addition of the College of Dentistry in 1881, coupled with the move to Parnassus Heights in 1898 on 13 acres donated by former San Francisco Mayor Adolph Sutro, UC San Francisco assumed the geographical outlines of today's 107-acre main campus just above Golden Gate Park.

In both size and number of students, UC San Francisco is the smallest of the nine UC campuses. But its relative size belies its distinction as one of the leading biomedical research and health science education centers in the world.

UCSF also is home to 11 research institutes, 1,500 laboratories, more than 2,000 ongoing research projects and the new library is blessed with a state-of-the-art computing and communications infrastructure.

UC-San Francisco is located in San Francisco County with a total enrollment of about 3600.
