Which UC in California has the best East Asian Studies major?
436923
Berkeley - in general - Berkeley's campus has a stronger program particularly when it comes to East Asian Studies simply because they will find professors from the top East Asian universities - such as Peking University, Tsinghua University and Seoul University. UC Irvine's east asian studies - no doubt is very strong but I would say Berkeley's is stronger.

the university of east anglia is quite well known for film studies

As someone in the technology field in the Los Angeles area, I would have to say that the USC degree is worth more than one from CSULA, because of the quality of the professors and program. USC's EE program is much higher rated that any CS school--in fact it's ranked among MIT, Stanford, Caltech, CMU, and others as one of the top schools in the nation according to the U.S. News and World Report. (That said, I got my own degree there...) The rankings were 1. MIT 2. Stanford 3. Berkeley 4. Georgia Tech / U of Illinois Urbana 6. Univ. of Michigan 7. USC Viterbi School 8. Caltech 9. Carnegie Mellon 10. Purdue.

U. Chicago\nNorthwestern\nMichigan\n\nThese are great schools that are nationally respected.  UC doesn't offer an undergrad business degree, but their economics program is one of the top 5 in the world.

I graduated from UC Irvine, and I absolutely loved it.  It is an awesome school.  But, like any college, you get what you put into it.  They have good research opportunities, and great programs to study abroad.  Make sure to take advantage of all of the opportunities, and the peaceful environment.  This is not a "party" school.  It's more laid back.  Oh.. and the gym "the ARC" is the best.

As the director of a very good graduate studies program, I can tell you that Berkeley's program has a better national (and international) reputation, although as the above person noted, UCLA's program also has some particular strengths which you might want to consider.\n\nBut all other things being equal, I would probably favor the candidate with the UC Berkeley degree over the candidate with the UCLA degree in graduate admissions.

California has three systems of universities -- the University of California system is made up of high quality research schools and are all very good and very selective.  Cal State Universities are generally not research universities and are less selective.  Then there are community colleges.\n\nUCSD is an excellent school.  US News & World Reports ranks its undergraduate program as #32.  For Public Universities that is just behind UNC and just ahead of Wisconsin.  UCLA is ranked #25 and Berkeley the top ranked public university at #20.\n\nWhile UCLA and UC-Berkeley are only ranked slightly higher at the undergraduate level, UCLA would be a better choice for graduate school than UCSD, while UC-Berkeley would be far superior to either school in most fields.\n\nThere are lots of guides that you should look at if you are considering these schools.

UCSD hands down. \n\nUCSD is the third ranked UC school (just behind Cal Berkeley and UCLA), and all UC schools rank above CSU schools in ratings polls in terms of prestige and selectivity.\n\nIf you want to attend UCSD, pick the Earl Warren college. It has fewer writing GE requirements, letting you focus more on science and engineering coursework. \n\nCal Poly is cheaper, but it is notoriously impacted. Seldom do students finish in 4 years. UCSD may be a large school, but it is entirely possible to finish in 4.\n\nWhile both are beach communities, La Jolla is way nicer than SLO. There's more to do in the area. SLO is sleepy as hell, and it's kind of a hick town.\n\nC'mon, you know you'd rather be a Triton.

depends on what you're looking to do.  if you want to get into the technical fields (such as engineering or computer sciences), professional fields (such as law or medicine) or the business fields, you'd be better off going to one of the UC schools, if you can get in.  However, the UC system is a tough nut to crack the CSU schools are a great second choice.\n\nAs a group they don't rank the highest, but ranking only matters to people who care about them.  Unfortunately, people who are hiring in the job market care about them.

My daughter went to SCU and loved it.  Quality education, good social groups and a ton of fun.  UCI's having a bunch of trouble and controversy these days.

It is a matter of where you want to study. Do you want to live in California (West Coast) or Northeast (East Coast)? Do you want to live in Palo Alto, a sprawling suburb outside San Francisco, or live in the heart of Philadelphia, one of the largest cities in the country? One represents modern Spanish architecture while the other represents colonial-era urban architecture. You will receive an excellent education at either school. \n\nStanford:\nThe schools of the University include the School of Humanities and Sciences, School of Engineering, School of Earth Sciences, School of Education, Graduate School of Business, Stanford Law School and the Stanford University School of Medicine.\n\nPenn:\nAnnenberg School for Communication \nGraduate School of Education \nLaw School \nSchool of Arts & Sciences \nSchool of Dental Medicine \nSchool of Design \nSchool of Engineering and Applied Science \nSchool of Medicine \nSchool of Nursing \nSchool of Social Policy & Practice \nSchool of Veterinary Medicine \nWharton School of Business

University of California is more prestigious and cost more.

The best respected is University of Chicago, I believe. Berkeley also has a very good program, along with Harvard. It's also dependent on what sub-area you want to study. The biggest thing everyone told me for grad school is make a choice based on an advisor. I know that's difficult advice to follow up on, but everyone said that who you study under is more important than where you go when it come time to get a job or get research grants.\n\nGerman would certainly be your second choice. I tried to do some work during undergrad for a major archaeology research paper and was severly limited in my research by not knowing German.
