List of All California Colleges?

Trying to go to college in California 'cause fam's there. Anybody got a comprehensive list or know a reliable site that lists all colleges in California? Thanks!

Sure, I can provide a list of colleges in California, both public and private. Keep in mind it's a very long list, as California has over 100 four-year colleges. Also, it's always a good idea to double-check as universities may open, close, or merge. Here is a list of some of them:

1. University of California, Berkeley

2. University of California, Los Angeles

3. University of California, San Diego

4. University of California, Santa Barbara

5. University of California, Irvine

6. University of California, Davis

7. University of California, Riverside

8. University of California, Santa Cruz

9. University of California, Merced

These are the UC's. Below are the California State Universities:

1. California State University, Bakersfield

2. California State University, Channel Islands

3. California State University, Chico

4. California State University, Dominguez Hills

5. California State University, East Bay

6. California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo

7. California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

8. California State University, Fresno

9. California State University, Fullerton

10. California State University, Long Beach

As for private colleges, here are a few:

1. Stanford University

2. California Institute of Technology

3. University of Southern California

4. Pomona College

5. Claremont McKenna College

This list just scratches the surface as there are many more statewide. For a more comprehensive list, you can check out the National Center for Education Statistics' College Navigator tool where you can refine your search based on location, degree types, programs, and more. It's kept pretty up-to-date by the government and is widely considered reliable.
