School history of the University of California, Berkeley, understand?

University of California, Berkeley (University ofcalifornia, Berkeley) is located on the west coast of the United States, is the University of California 10 independent universities in the longest history, the most prosperous academics, the most free-thinking, the most culturally diverse universities. At the same time, Berkeley is also one of the most famous public research universities in the United States, in all the years of the national public university rankings in the first place, and become and Harvard, Yale and other Ivy League schools compared to the higher education institutions. As a public university among the world's leading research universities, its research funding is among the highest in the nation. A visit to this prestigious school to experience its rich academic and cultural diversity will be a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Berkeley is located in the city of Berkeley in the northern part of California, about 30 minutes away from the famous city of San Francisco. Berkeley is an American city of western coastal style, with mountains to the east and the Atlantic Ocean San Francisco Bay to the west, opposite the famous Golden Gate Bridge. Its unique location gives Berkeley a near-perfect climate characterized by four warm seasons, abundant precipitation, and good vegetation, making it one of the most livable cities in the world. Berkeley is an integral part of the city of Berkeley: the school has no walls, and buildings are scattered throughout the city. Berkeley is spread over 1,230 acres*** and is divided into two campuses: north and south. The campus is covered with trees, lawns and flowers all year round. Campus green canyon, wide sports field, ups and downs of the lawn, small jungle, plus the Strawberry Bay across the campus, more secluded and elegant, let people linger. In the depths of the campus behind the Devineer Humanities Building in the square towers a tall tower, it is Berkeley's landmark building - Sather Tower. Sather Tower is also topped by a 48-bell chiming clock. The clock strikes three times a day, chimes for 24 hours, and the sound of the bells echoes throughout the campus for a long time, which is quite interesting. Currently there are 35,842 students at Berkeley***, including 10,313 graduate students. The vast majority of the school's students are from the home state. Among the university's current faculty are eight Nobel Prize winners, 14 MacArthur Fellows, three Pulitzer Prize winners, 169 members of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, 49 members of the Academy of Engineering, and many world-renowned scholars and scientists. Historically*** 65 professors and alumni have won the Nobel Prize, 9 alumni have won the Turing Award, and 137 Fulbright Prize winners. Berkeley is known for its high-quality graduate training. Berkeley has the largest graduate division in the nation, offering students degree programs in nearly 100 majors. Graduate education at Berkeley focuses on a combination of independent study and interaction with professors. At the beginning of the semester, students must understand their weaknesses and lack of knowledge in which subjects, and then make a thoughtful choice of courses and number of courses. At the beginning of the semester, the student must first show interest in the research project and especially in the work of the professors, then look up the work of the professors on the Internet and read their publications, and then talk directly with the professors. Of course, the final choice is up to the student. If they are not interested in a professor's research project, the student can meet with the Director of Diversity, the instructor of the Research Diversity course, who will help the student re-select a research project. Once a research project is selected, the student works with the professor for an extended period of time. Another change in Berkeley graduate education in recent years has been the increasing emphasis on interdisciplinarity. This change not only helps to expand students' knowledge and research ideas, but also contributes to their creativity and innovation. In terms of internships, the Office of Graduate Diversity Programs offers a series of seminars and lectures, including academic and professional development, information and strategic planning, and the Summer Research Opportunities Program, to help students gain employment experience. And because of Berkeley's close proximity to the Silicon Valley area, the school, in conjunction with companies and corporations in the Technology Park, can also provide internships for students. Berkeley's undergraduate education is also unique in that the school divides its four years into two, with the first two years of general education focusing on basic courses, and the second two years of the program divided into specialized courses. In addition, Berkeley unites undergraduate and graduate programs so that some undergraduates interested in graduate programs can take graduate courses. In recent years, Berkeley has reformed and innovated its undergraduate-level curriculum, and one of the most important measures has been the seminar and faculty-student idea-sharing potluck programs. The seminars, which are aimed primarily at first-year and sophomore students, provide unparalleled opportunities for faculty and small groups of underclassmen to explore academic topics of ****same interest. By participating in the seminars, students become active members of the Berkeley intellectual community, while faculty members are inspired and energized by interacting with a group of talented students. At the beginning of each semester, faculty from different departments meet to offer approximately 100 seminars to students. The seminars cover a wide range of topics, including cutting-edge developments in various disciplines, the state of research, and topics of interest to students. Examples include Life's Journey Investigating the Monster in the Mirror, Utopia and the Movie from Hell. The purpose of the "Teacher-Student Idea Exchange Potluck Program" is to promote understanding and emotional exchange between teachers and students, and to provide opportunities for students and teachers to interact outside of the classroom. Teachers will have lunch or dinner with their students and interact with them. The seminars and the Teacher-Student Idea Exchange Potluck Program have become a major asset in attracting high school students to Berkeley. In California, it takes the best high school graduates in the state to get into the University of California, about 12.5% of the entire high school graduating class, and roughly only 1% get to attend Berkeley. It is very fortunate to be able to attend Berkeley because it is the cheapest college in the United States. In-state students attend school for only a few thousand dollars, while going to a prestigious eastern school can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Students who attend Berkeley are extraordinarily hard-working and are warmly welcomed by the community upon graduation, whether they are graduate or undergraduate students Source: Education and Careers - General Edition
