Data visualization. please download the source data for accessible information.

Graduate and professional degree students who are U.S. (but not California) residents can meet California residency requirements after their first year of study in California. Since most of these students become in-state residents in their second year, focusing on newly enrolled graduate and professional degree students produces a more accurate representation of their geographic origin.

Reflecting the University's goal of drawing top academic talent from across the nation and the world, new academic graduate students are more geographically diverse than undergraduate students.
