It's all about OPTIONS!
You have many options when it comes to selecting not only what career to pursue, but also what college you attend or what field you join in the workforce.
University of California (UC's)
These are public 4-year colleges. Nine UC campuses offer undergraduate and graduate education; one (UCSF) is graduate/professional only. They are typically more expensive to attend than CSU’s and Community Colleges.

Private Universities
A private school is a college or university that often operates as an educational nonprofit organization. It does not receive its primary funding from a state government. Private schools generally are smaller than public schools and have smaller class sizes than public schools.
