University of California, San Diego

The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is one of the University of California campuses. It is located in La Jolla, California.

The school's sports teams are called the Tritons. They participate in the NCAA's Division II and in the California Collegiate Athletics Association. UCSD does not have a football team, and they are proud of their "undefeated" record.

UCSD excels in the sciences and engineering, helped along by a strong local biotechnology sector, though it is strong in all disciplines. It includes the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The 2003 News and World Reports College Survey ranked UCSD among the top ten public universities in the United States.

UCSD has a system of colleges similar to Oxford University and Cambridge University. The six colleges are Roger Revelle College, Muir College, Thurgood Marshall College, Earl Warren College, Eleanor Roosevelt College, and the new and unnamed Sixth College.
