===History===
The University of California, Davis graduate division<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://gradstudies.ucdavis.edu/|title = UC Davis Graduate Studies}}</ref> has a long history. Graduate education has been a major feature of the academic focus for over 80 years. This academic tradition began in the fall of 1925, when 12 students received graduate degrees from the College of Agriculture through a partnership with the graduate division of the University California at Berkeley.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gradstudies.ucdavis.edu/about-us/department-history |title=UC Davis Grad Studies : History of Graduate Studies |publisher=University of California, Davis|access-date=September 8, 2014}}</ref><ref name = "Cal">{{cite web|url=http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/uchistory/general_history/campuses/ucd/graddiv.html |title=University of California History Digital Archives |publisher=University of California, Berkeley |access-date=September 8, 2014}}</ref> Over the years, the programs continued to grow, interact and collaborate. The first graduate degrees were awarded from the UC Davis campus in the fall of 1949.<ref>{{cite web|title=We Started as the University Farm|date=November 19, 2015|url=https://www.ucdavis.edu/about/history/|access-date=May 26, 2018}}</ref>

In 1961, autonomous graduate divisions and graduate councils were established on all University of California campuses to provide focused oversight of their graduate programs.<ref name = "Cal" />

===Academics===
A key feature of graduate education at UC Davis is the graduate group. The core elements of a graduate group include an emphasis on "shared research interests among faculty and students; flexibility to grow and quickly change to reflect emerging areas of interdisciplinary knowledge and technology; and an acceptance that many research questions transcend traditional academic departmental boundaries."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://gradstudies.ucdavis.edu/programs/graduate-groups.html |title=UC Davis Grad Studies : Graduate Groups |publisher=University of California, Davis |access-date=September 8, 2014 |archive-date=July 17, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140717225147/http://gradstudies.ucdavis.edu/programs/graduate-groups.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> UC Davis offers more graduate groups than any other campus in the UC system.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gradstudies.ucdavis.edu/about-us/department-history|title=History of Graduate Studies {{!}} UC Davis Grad Studies|website=gradstudies.ucdavis.edu|access-date=October 15, 2016}}</ref>
