Other notable programs include the School of Education and the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing. Notable alumni include NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson, U.S. Congresswoman Jackie Speier, and former NFL quarterback J.T. O’Sullivan.

Located just 15 miles from Sacramento, UC Davis’ 5,300-acre campus offers a city experience couched in beautiful natural surroundings. With access to the capital city’s resources, students can also enjoy the university’s arboretum, 100 acres of gardens that stretch along a waterway and serve as a public park. Biking has become a popular (and encouraged) mode of transportation. Students can participate in more than 700 organizations, including a sizable Greek community of about 65 fraternities and sororities.
