Most people aren't going to college for academic research, which is a big part of the problem. They are going for careers unfortunately.

- Balgair 4y agoIn California it's a bit different. According to 'The Master Plan', UCs are designed for research and post-grad work and some professional careers. Only the UCs give out PhDs (with a few exceptions). CSUs are designed for professional and teacher education and cannot give out PhDs (with a few exceptions). So, as an undergrad thinking of grad school, a UC is a better place to go to as they have the grad labs and classes on campus, while the CSUs mostly do not. Your chances of getting into grad school are a bit higher. Berkeley, being a UC, is more geared toward research than Chico, a CSU. I mean, Cal even has a nobel prize parking lot. https://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/content-analysis/academic-planning/california-master-plan.html https://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-plannin...
