With surging admissions demand, UC aims to grow by 33,000 California students by 2030

LOS ANGELES — The University of California, facing record surges in applications, is aiming to increase seats for California students by as many as 33,000 by 2030 — the equivalent of building a new campus.

At least half the growth would come at the UC system's most popular campuses — UCLA, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego — in part by reducing the number of out-of-state and international students and giving those seats to Californians.

UC does not plan to build a new campus because of time and expense. But the system's nine undergraduate campuses are crafting plans to accommodate increased enrollment with more online courses, summer offerings, off-campus programs, potential satellite locations and additional support to help students graduate more quickly, which would free up seats.
