<p>Yes, UC-San Francisco is a unusual case. You see those pop up in the list. It is not an undergrad school, but the IPEDS data base shows them granting about 100 undergrad degrees per year. I’m guessing that they may have some combined degree programs. I don’t know.</p>

<p>Normally, a situation like UC-San Francisco would have been filtered out by my threshold of 1000 undergrad degrees in ten years, but it just made the cut. This is the only list where it would show up, because it is a biology/health sciences specialty school.</p>
