Goals The University of California aims to prepare students to assume roles as the next generation of leaders for California and the nation. UC graduates leave the University with the foundations upon which they can build rewarding and successful lives as engaged citizens and productive workers contributing to the social and economic well-being of the state.

Measures The data that follow illustrate UC undergraduates' progress in earning their degrees compared to students at other institutions. They show how many students who enter UC complete their degrees and the areas of study in which their degrees are earned. Graduation data are presented for entering freshmen and upper-division community college transfer students, and by race/ethnicity and gender. In addition, two tables display students' post-graduation plans and aspirations. The high level of success for UC undergraduates is evident across the campuses, across disciplines and across freshman and transfer entrants.
