The University of California, Los Angeles was founded in 1919 as a public, coeducational research university. It is the only leading research institution in the world founded in the 20th century. UCLA sits on 419 acres at the base of the Santa Monica mountains, five miles from the Pacific Ocean. One of the world's most ethnically and culturally diverse communities, students come to UCLA from all 50 states and more than 100 foreign countries, though the majority of undergraduates are from California.
UCLA offers undergraduates a choice of 119 undergraduate degree programs, many of which rank among the top in the nation. UCLA's library system contains more than six million volumes held in two general collections and thirteen special subject libraries. Faculty include five Nobel Laureates and more than 300 Fulbright Scholarship awardees, and more than 280 Guggenheim Fellows.
