The University enrolls approximately 4,900 undergraduates and 9,820 graduate, professional and other students. In addition to the undergraduate College, the four graduate divisions, and the six professional schools, there are libraries, laboratories, museums, clinics, and other institutions; nursery and K-12 schools; a continuing-studies program; and an academic press.
