9956-491: The division expands. Major additions include the San Diego Supercomputer Center , completed in 1986; Powell-Focht Bioengineering Hall, completed in 2003; and the Structural and Materials Engineering building, completed in 2012. Significant construction work on the previously undeveloped northern part of campus also took place during this time. Two graduate professional schools, the School of Global Policy and Strategy and

10087-410: The eastern edge of La Jolla and one of the highest points in San Diego. A large Christian cross was placed at the top in 1913 as a prominent landmark. It has been replaced twice, most recently in 1954 with a 29-foot-tall (8.8 m) cross (43 feet (13 m) tall including the base). Originally known as the "Mount Soledad Easter Cross", its presence on publicly owned land was challenged in the 1980s as

10218-454: The eight colleges are: Students affiliate with a college based upon its particular philosophy and environment as majors are not exclusive to specific colleges. Revelle and Sixth enroll the largest number of undergraduate students, followed by Warren, Muir, Roosevelt, and Marshall. Each undergraduate college sets different requirements for awarding graduation and provost's honors, separate from departmental and Phi Beta Kappa honors. As one of

10349-684: The end of his chancellorship, the quality of UC San Diego graduate programs was ranked 10th in the nation by the National Research Council.

10611-545: The event's conditions were set for three-year-olds at the distance. In 1973 the event was classified as Grade III and in 1975 was moved to the turf track and has been run since then on that surface. In 1987 the event's distance was extended from one mile to 1 + 1 ⁄ 16 miles. From 2004 to 2013 the event was run as a Grade II. In 2024 the event was downgraded by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to Listed status. The event's position in

10742-481: The faculty in 1965. A champion of the New Left , he reportedly was the first protester to occupy the administration building in a demonstration organized by his student, political activist Angela Davis . The American Legion offered to buy out the remainder of Marcuse's contract for $ 20,000; the Regents censured Chancellor William J. McGill for defending Marcuse on the basis of academic freedom , but further action

10873-484: The federal government, but Roger Revelle , then director of the Scripps Institution and main advocate for establishing the new campus, jeopardized the site selection by exposing the La Jolla community's exclusive real estate business practices, which were antagonistic to minority racial and religious groups. This outraged local conservatives, as well as Regent Edwin W. Pauley . Revelle also got involved in

11004-463: The fields of physics, biology , chemistry , and earth science . Before the main campus completed construction, classes were held in Scripps Institution of Oceanography. By 1963, new facilities on the mesa had been finished for the School of Science and Engineering, and new buildings were under construction for Social Sciences and Humanities. Ten additional faculty in those disciplines were hired, and

11135-563: The former while the City Council offered free land for the latter. The original authorization for the San Diego campus given by the UC Regents in 1956 approved a "graduate program in science and technology" that included undergraduate programs, a compromise that won both the support of General Dynamics and the city voters' approval. Nobel laureate Harold Urey , a physical chemist from the University of Chicago ; James R. Arnold ,

11266-470: The formidable great white shark . Many of the marine animals live within and/or depend on the extensive offshore kelp forest , where scuba divers often venture to explore and encounter interesting species. The kelp forests are also home to an extensive number of invertebrate species, from sea urchins , abalone , sea stars and limpets to king crab and giant octopus . Oftentimes, tourists can see California sea lions and harbor seals hauled-out on

11397-492: The highest home prices in the nation in 2008 and 2009, according to a survey by Coldwell Banker . The survey compares the cost of a standardized four-bedroom home in communities across the country. The average price for such a home in La Jolla was reported as US$ 1.842 million in 2008 and US$ 2.125 million in 2009. The La Jolla Community Planning Association advises the city council, Planning Commission, City Planning Department as well as other governmental agency as appropriate in

The La Jolla Fencing Academy opened in 2017 on Villa La Jolla Drive. Among its coaches

11659-410: The idea of a San Diego campus of the University of California , and the quest became more definite following World War II. Scripps Institution of Oceanography, under its director Roger Revelle , had become an important defense contractor, and local aerospace companies like Convair were pressing for local training for their scientists and engineers. The state legislature proposed the idea in 1955, and

11790-623: The initial preparation, adoption of, implementation of, or amendment to the General or Community Plan as it pertains to the La Jolla area as well as review specific development proposals. The nonprofit La Jolla Town Council represents the interests of La Jolla businesses and residents that belong to the council. The Bird Rock Community Council serves the Bird Rock neighborhood, while the La Jolla Shores Association serves

11921-541: The kiosk structure at Chicano Park . In 2016 a mural entitled "Enduring Spell" was completed by El Mac in the Argo courtyard, UC San Diego maintains about 17,000 parking spaces and offers a number of alternative transportation options. The university runs a shuttle system, which is provided free for students, faculty, and staff, that services the main campus, UC San Diego Medical Center , university affiliated research centers, as well as nearby apartment complexes. As part of

12052-545: The land under the cross from the Department of Defense for $ 1.4 million. On September 7, 2016, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a one-page ruling, ordering dismissal of the case and an end to all current appeals, stating that the case was now moot because the cross was no longer on government land. Both sides agreed that this decision puts a final end to the case. La Jolla became an art colony in 1894 when Anna Held (also known as Anna Held Heinrich) established

12183-619: The likenesses of Martin Luther King Jr. and other political figures. Underground street artist Swampy created a large piece inside the Ché Café, visible through the courtyard depicting his signature mammoth skeleton.

The Ché Café remains

12314-510: The majority of enrollments at the university. The university offers 125 bachelor's degree programs traditionally organized into five disciplinary divisions: arts and humanities, biological sciences, engineering, mathematics and physical sciences, and social sciences. Students are also free to design special majors or engage in dual majors. 38% of undergraduates major in the social sciences, followed by 25% in biological sciences, 18% in engineering, 8% in sciences and math, 4% in humanities, and 3% in

12445-467: The most isolated UC unit in every sense: geographically, financially, and institutionally. Scripps had originally explored the simple idea of adding a small program for graduate students to its existing research program. Over time, that idea evolved into something much larger and more complex, and it was a great shock to the Scripps community to learn that Scripps was now expected to become the nucleus of

12576-516: The nation in terms of research and development expenditures in 2018, with $ 1.265 billion spent. Kiplinger in 2014 ranked UC San Diego 14th out of the top 100 best-value public colleges and universities in the nation, and 3rd in California. UC San Diego was ranked tied for 35th among national universities in the United States and tied for 8th among public universities by U.S. News & World Report ' s 2021 rankings.

Public schools include La Jolla High School , La Jolla Elementary, Muirlands Middle School, Torrey Pines Elementary, and Bird Rock Elementary, as well as Preuss School ,

12838-488: The new campus in 1960. Because Revelle's tactless approaches to the clashes with Pauley and Salk had damaged his reputation with the Board of Regents, Kerr realized he could not nominate Revelle as the campus's first chancellor. Revelle's nomination would have become "an angry and drawn-out affair" and greatly detracted from the campus's future development. Herbert York , first director of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ,

12969-526: The nickname "The Jewel". The name may also come from the Spanish La Hoya , meaning a geographic hollow. Different spelling conventions over the years would permit this to be written as La Jolla. During the Mexican period of San Diego's history, La Jolla was mapped as pueblo land and contained about 60 lots. When California became a state in 1850, the La Jolla area was incorporated as part of

13100-582: The north-facing bluffs, which are visible from La Jolla Shores . It is suggested that the Kumeyaay name for the area was transcribed by the Spanish settlers as La Jolla . Another suggestion for the origin of the name is that it is an alternative spelling of the Spanish phrase la joya , which means ' the jewel ' . Despite being disputed by scholars, this derivation of the name has been widely cited in popular culture. This supposed origin gave rise to

13231-428: The northeasterly boundary to Genesee Avenue and the northerly boundary to Del Mar, California . The UCSD campus, also part of La Jolla, has ZIP Codes 92092 and 92093. Despite the city and postal service definitions, La Jolla does not have universally accepted boundaries. In the 1980s, the trustees of Scripps Hospital voted to move the campus from downtown La Jolla to University City , east of Interstate 5 and not within

13362-514: The nucleus for the establishment of the University of California, San Diego . From 1917 through 1964, the United States Marine Corps maintained a military base in La Jolla. The base was used for marksmanship training and was known as Camp Calvin B. Matthews . During and after World War II , the population of La Jolla grew, causing residential development to draw close to the base, so that it became less and less suitable as

13493-452: The only nudist beaches in the area, is one of the most popular lesser known surfer spots throughout the year. Torrey Pines Gliderport is another a staple of the La Jolla cliffs, offering views of gliders scattered throughout the air. Sunset Cliffs is a location popular amongst locals and tourists alike, known for views of the sunset off to the horizon past the cliffs and caves below. La Jolla Shores, not to be mistaken with La Jolla Cove,

13624-450: The popular beaches and coastal access points, listed from north to south, include: According to United States Census Bureau figures, the ethnic/racial makeup of La Jolla is 82.5% White, 0.8% Black, 0.2% American Indian, 11.2% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 2.0% any other race, and 3.1% two or more races. Latinos, who may be of any race, form 7.2% of La Jolla's population. There is also a sizable Persian population in La Jolla. La Jolla had

13755-444: The project is to ease traffic and parking on campus while providing more accessible transportation to nearby areas. As part of the university's existing public transit partnerships, all students have unlimited access to MTS regional buses and trolleys, as well as most North County Transit District transportation services, upon paying a "transportation fee" as part of registration. Several facilities are currently under construction at

13886-487: The racing calendar at Del Mar has led to the race being a preparatory race for the Del Mar Derby which is scheduled usually several weeks later. The event has been split into division four times, the last being in 1982. Two fillies or mares have won this event. The inaugural running in 1937 and Henpecker in 1948 when the event was restricted to three-year-old fillies. Speed record: Margins: Most wins by

14017-407: The residential neighborhood of La Jolla of northern San Diego , bordered by the communities of La Jolla Shores , Torrey Pines , and University City . The main campus consists of 761 buildings that occupy 1,152 acres (466 ha), with natural reserves covering about 889 acres (360 ha) and outlying facilities taking up the remaining area. The San Diego Freeway (Interstate 5) passes through

14148-505: The rocks, basking in the sun; however, as many local divers and swimmers can attest, pinnipeds are not always a good omen , as their presence usually lures bigger, predatory sharks—namely the great whites. During the winter, these apex predators breed, hunting the plentiful seals around the kelp forest, and sometimes, coming even closer to shore . Piers , caves , and buoys are areas that surfers avoid for these reasons, as sharks patrol these locations to ambush pinnipeds diving back into

14279-422: The school's Academic Senate, a legislative body composed of all university faculty members. Nine vice chancellors manage academic affairs, research, diversity, marine sciences, student affairs, planning, external relations, business affairs, and health sciences and report directly to the chancellor. There have been a total of 2 student regents from UC San Diego, Linda Rae Sabo in 1982, an undergraduate senior at

14410-432: The sciences, mathematics, and engineering. Local citizens supported the idea, voting the same year to transfer to the university 59 acres (24 ha) of mesa land on the coast near the pre-existing Scripps Institution of Oceanography . The Regents requested an additional gift of 550 acres (220 ha) of undeveloped mesa land northeast of Scripps, as well as 500 acres (200 ha) on the former site of Camp Matthews from

14541-529: The second largest student housing capacity in the nation. The university occupies 2,178 acres (881 ha) near the Pacific coast .

The National Science Foundation ranked UC San Diego 7th among American universities for research and development expenditures in 2021 with $ 1.42 billion. The university operates several organized research units, including

14803-1072: The traditional boundaries of La Jolla. The governing documents of the hospital required it to be located in La Jolla, however. A court ruled that "La Jolla" exists merely as a "state of mind" and thus allowed the relocation of the hospital. Several businesses and housing developments east of Interstate 5 use "La Jolla" in their names despite being geographically located in the University City neighborhood of San Diego, which includes areas east of Interstate 5. La Jolla's offshore waters are known to be home to an endless array of marine wildlife, including sea lions , harbor seals , whales —such as migratory gray , humpback and blue whales — harbor porpoises , dolphins (including, at times, hundreds of common dolphins , as well as rough-toothed , bottlenose , Pacific white-sided and Risso's dolphins , and orcas ), green sea turtles , countless fish (such as garibaldi , sculpin and more), many migratory and resident sea and shorebirds , and many different sharks, ranging from diminutive, clam-eating dogfish and leopard sharks to

14934-478: The university announced the construction of Triton Center, a new facility near University Center that will host numerous student services along with an Alumni & Welcome Center. It is expected to open Winter of 2026. In September 2023, chancellor Pradeep Khosla announced his intention to present a housing proposition to the Regents of the University of California . The housing proposition currently aims to house an additional 6,000 students, though Khosla states he

15065-491: The university as one of the ugliest campuses in America, likening it to "a cupboard full of kitchen appliances whose function you can't quite fathom." In addition to its academic and housing facilities, the campus features eucalyptus groves, Birch Aquarium , and several major research centers. The Scripps Institution owns a sea port and several open ocean vessels for marine research. Several large shake facilities, including

15196-499: The war. Early research activity and faculty quality, notably in the sciences, was integral to shaping the focus and culture of the university. Even before UC San Diego had its own campus, faculty recruits had already made significant research breakthroughs, such as the Keeling Curve , a graph that plots rapidly increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and was the first significant evidence for global climate change ;

15327-410: The water. However, with very few exceptions, the majority of shark encounters are uneventful and not aggressive, and, many times, great white sharks may come within mere feet of surfers or swimmers yet remain completely unnoticed; it is often only with drone footage that such close encounters are even observed. La Jolla is an area of mixed geology, including sandy beaches and rocky shorelines. The area

15458-614: The whole site was designated the First College of the new campus (it was later renamed after Roger Revelle). York resigned as chancellor that year and was replaced by John Semple Galbraith . The undergraduate program accepted its first class of 181 freshman at Revelle College in 1964. Second College was founded in 1964, on the land deeded by the federal government, and named after environmentalist John Muir two years later. The School of Medicine also accepted its first students in 1966. Political theorist Herbert Marcuse joined

15589-749: The world record holding Large High Performance Outdoor Shake Table, used for earthquake simulations, are also maintained by the university. The university has actively sought to reduce carbon emissions and energy usage on campus, earning a "gold" sustainability performance rating in the Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS) survey. It was also praised in The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges: 2013 Edition for its strong commitment to sustainability in its academic offerings, campus infrastructure, activities and career preparation. When

15720-728: The youngest university in the United States to have completed a $ 2 billion fundraiser. On November 27, 2017, the university announced it would leave its longtime athletic home of the California Collegiate Athletic Association , an NCAA Division II league, to begin a transition to NCAA Division I in 2020. It joined the Big West Conference , already home to four other UC campuses ( Davis , Irvine , Riverside , Santa Barbara ). The university transitioned to NCAA Division I competition on July 1, 2020. The transition period will run through

15851-573: The zoology department at the University of California, Berkeley , with financial support from Scripps and her brother E. W. Scripps . At first the institution operated out of a boathouse in Coronado . In 1905, they purchased a 170-acre (69 ha) site in La Jolla, where the Institution still stands today. The first laboratory buildings there opened in 1907. The institution became part of the University of California in 1912. Ultimately, it became

15982-636: Was averted after local leaders expressed support for Marcuse. Further student unrest was felt at the university, as the United States increased its involvement in the Vietnam War during the mid-1960s, when a student raised a Viet Minh flag over the campus. Protests escalated as the war continued and were only exacerbated after the National Guard fired on student protesters at Kent State University in 1970. Over 200 students occupied Urey Hall, with one student setting himself on fire in protest of

16113-428: Was built, connecting La Jolla to the rest of San Diego. La Jolla became known as a resort area. To attract visitors to the beach, the railway built facilities such as a bath house and a dance pavilion. Visitors were housed in small cottages and bungalows above La Jolla Cove, as well as a temporary tent city erected every summer. Two of the cottages that were built in 1894, the "Red Roost" and the "Red Rest", also known as

16244-409: Was designed to have a "college" system; there are now eight colleges. The first college was established in 1965 and was named Revelle College after Roger Revelle , who is regarded as the "father" of the university. A medical school was established in 1968. The landmark Geisel Library with its Brutalist architecture opened in 1970. The university is the second largest employer in the city and has

16375-405: Was disqualified. Zoffarelli ( IRE ) was declared the winner. † In the 2007 running of the event Medici Code was first past the post and wagering was paid out as the winner, however the horse returned a positive swab for an excess amount of Clenbuterol and consequently was disqualified from the prizemoney and was placed eighth (last). Worldly was declared the official winner of the event. ‡ In 1948

16506-470: Was established in 1922. Between 1951 and 1963, other elementary schools (Bird Rock, Decatur, Scripps, and Torrey Pines) were established in the area to ease overcrowding. The La Jolla Beach and Yacht Club (later the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club ) was built in 1927. In 1896 journalist and publisher Ellen Browning Scripps settled in La Jolla, where she lived for the last 35 years of her life. She

16637-493: Was extended due to construction delays. The Theatre District Living & Learning Neighborhood is currently scheduled to open between Fall 2023 and Spring 2024.

A volunteer fire brigade was organized in 1907; the city of San Diego established a regular fire house in 1914. Livery stable owner Nathan Rannells served successively as La Jolla's volunteer fire captain, first police officer (the only San Diego police officer north of Mission Valley ), and first postmaster. La Jolla Elementary School began educating local children in 1896. The Bishop's School opened in 1909. La Jolla High School

16899-651: Was recently replaced with the Graffiti Art Park. Students in the university's visual arts department also create temporary public art installations as part of their coursework. In 2007, the university sponsored a $ 56,000 performance art project to develop a sense of community at the sprawling campus. Shepard Fairey , most notable for his Barack Obama "Hope" poster , painted a mural at the Ché Café , one of UC San Diego's most famous buildings and collectives, on an outside wall facing Scholars Drive, that features

17030-502: Was selected instead. York planned the main campus according to the " Oxbridge " model, relying on many of Revelle's ideas. According to Kerr, "San Diego always asked for the best," though this created much friction throughout the UC system, including with Kerr himself, because UC San Diego often seemed to be "asking for too much and too fast." Kerr attributed UC San Diego's "special personality" to Scripps, which for over five decades had been

17161-418: Was wealthy in her own right from her investments and writing, and she inherited a large sum from her brother George H. Scripps in 1900. She devoted herself to philanthropic endeavors, particularly those benefiting her adopted home of La Jolla. She commissioned many of La Jolla's most notable buildings, usually designed by Irving Gill or his nephew and partner Louis John Gill . Many of these buildings are now on
