The University of California Los Angeles, commonly known as UCLA, is the second oldest school in the University of California system. It has the largest enrollment of any university in the state of California. The university is comprised of six undergraduate colleges: Letters and Science, Arts and Architecture, the Herb Alpert School of Music, the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the Nursing school and the School of Theater, Film, and Television. These are joined by a variety of professional programs.

UCLA was officially established on May 23, 1919, when California Governor William D. Stephens declared what was then The State Normal School at Los Angeles to be the Southern Branch of the University of California (The northern branch is now University of California, Berkeley.) At that time, the UCLA campus was located in Hollywood, the site of present-day Los Angeles City College. The present-day campus, then known as the "Beverly Site" because it neighbored Beverly Hills, was announced officially on March 21, 1925. All four of the new campus' original buildings are still standing - they are today known as Powell Library, Royce Hall, the Humanities Building, and Haines Hall.

UCLA's athletic teams compete in Division I-A of the NCAA in most sports. The school's crosstown rivals are the Trojans of USC. On May 13, 2007, with the victory of the Women's Water Polo championship, UCLA became the first American university to win 100 national championships. Still, the school is perhaps best known nationally for the men's basketball program. Led for many decades by legendary coach John Wooden, and featuring many of the game's greatest players such as Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton, the team has won 11 national championships, the most in college basketball history.
