University of California, San Francisco is a leading university dedicated to defining health worldwide through advanced biomedical research, graduate-level education in the life sciences and health professions, and excellence in patient care. Some highlights of UCSF include: Researchers at UCSF developed gene-splicing techniques that have revolutionized biology, spawned the biotechnology industry and led to life-saving treatments. Some 25,000 doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and scientists have graduated from UCSF, whose schools are ranked among the top in the nation. *UCSF — including its medical centers at Parnassus and Mount Zion — and its affiliated hospitals — San Francisco General Hospital Medical Center and the VA Medical Center — handle more than one million patient visits a year. With a workforce of 18,600 people, UCSF is San Francisco`s second largest employer. In 2003, UCSF opened its 43-acre Mission Bay campus south of downtown San Francisco. UCSF Mission Bay, the largest biomedical university expansion in the country, will double UCSF`s research space and speed the pace of biomedical discovery.
The university system started as the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines in Fairbanks, later renamed the University of Alaska. That first year, the campus was a single two-story frame building and had just six students. The school was renamed the University of Alaska in 1935. In 1954, Anchorage Community College (now known as the University of Alaska Anchorage) was incorporated into the University of Alaska. That next year, Juneau Community College was established and was later named the University of Alaska Southeast. The UA system`s largest hubs (UAA, UAF and UAS) are separately accredited institutions, as is Prince William Sound Community College in Valdez. System-wide, nearly 33,000 full- and part-time students are enrolled, studying among 500 unique degree, certificate or endorsement programs. Study areas include short-course workforce training, associate degrees, bachelor`s and master`s degrees, as well as doctorates. Programs include a wide array of the sciences, engineering, teacher and early childhood education, business, journalism and communications, aviation, health occupations, history, English, the arts and humanities and many others. Per the Alaska Constitution, an 11-member board of regents governs the system. The system president serves as the board`s chief executive officer. Chancellors for each of the hubs—UAA, UAF and UAS--report to the president.
