**Rate based upon NCAA Division I Graduation Rates Report using the mean value for White students at UC Berkeley, UCLA, Irvine and Santa Barbara for those succeeding in earning a degree within 6 years of entry. This assumes that Black and Hispanics admitted by the same standards as Whites will have approximately the same graduation rates as Whites.
