Why Choose UC Davis?
Since we were founded in 1905, UC
Davis has been known for standout academics,
sustainability and Aggie Pride as well as valuing the
Northern California lifestyle. These themes are woven into
our 100-plus-year history and our reputation for
solving problems related to food, health, the environment and
society.
Our 5,300-acre campus is in the city of Davis, a college town of about 68,000 located in Yolo County. The state capital is 20 minutes away, and world-class destinations such as the San Francisco Bay Area, Lake Tahoe and the Napa Valley are within a two-hour drive.
