UCI endowment..so low

<p>UCI -US $195 million (June 30, 2006)
UCD-US $629.7 million [1]
UCSB-US $227.1 Million [1]
UCLA-US$1.7 billion[1]
UCSC- US$162.4 million [1]
USC-US$1.6 billion[1]</p>

<p>hummm UCI is on par with UCD is it not?</p>

<p>what is endowment so low compared to other UCs?</p>

<p>I think because UCI is the newest school out of all of those schools.</p>

<p>USC and UCLA have been around for about 100 years. (USC maybe more)</p>

<p>UCD (1905) is 60 years older than UCI (1965) and even older than UCLA (1919). UCI is the "youngest" UC ( Is UCM considered eatablished?)</p>

<p>UCI is also the "youngest" member of the top 50 Universities and the top 10 public Universities in the nation . It only takes around 35 years.That is quiet a achievement.</p>

<p>A strong baby broth, is'nt it?</p>

<p>60 years younger than davis and already overtaking them in the ranks?</p>

<p>i like.</p>

<p>It is definitely because UCI is the newest school out of all you listed. UCD actually has a lot of funds particularly because of their school of agricultural and environmental sciences. Not every UC has this program, and UCD's foundation was particularly for the education of agriculture. It's a nationwide known school for agriculture and environmental science. UCD spends more on agricultural/environmental sciences than it does on biological sciences and engineering combined. UCD also holds the most engineering students so you can see the drastic difference. Don't worry about it though. They both offer just as much as the other for undergraduates.</p>

<p>makes sense...i wonder where uci will be for the next couple decades...</p>
