<p>Well, in California, they seperate the 2 public university systems into 2 levels:</p>

<p>National level: University of California (10 of them, top well known are Berkeley, LA, San Diego, Irvine … these are not only offering Ph.D but also professional degree like medicine) and in CA, we do not refer them as state schools. </p>

<p>State level: California State university of (23 of them, again, Master degree is highest)</p>

<h2>In addition, both system also rely on CA governmental funding. </h2>

<p>If you still think UC systems are CA state schools:</p>

<p>I highly recommend these 2 UCs:

  1. UCLA
    Some news: “For 2006 and 2008, the department’s logic group has maintained its number two spot in the U.S. News & World Report best graduate program rankings.” from <a href=“http://www.math.ucla.edu/info/news.shtml[/url]”>http://www.math.ucla.edu/info/news.shtml&lt;/a&gt; ; and Terrance Tao is a math genius! In summary, UCLA math department is well known nationally and internationally.
  2. UC Berkeley
    Almost on all top 5 lists in almost all disciplines in math.</p>

<p>Check out the ranking here:

(note: to avoid silly argument over whether ranking is reliable or not; you have your own way of seeing it. Some find them useful and some do not.)</p>
