Located on the west coast of the United States along the Pacific Ocean, California is bordered on the north by Oregon, on the east by Nevada, on the southeast by Arizona and on the south by the Mexican state of Baja California. California, the most populated US state, is home to more than 36.5 million, and with an area of 163,696 square miles, it is the third largest state. The archipelago of Hawaii encompasses more than a hundred islands spread over 1,500 miles in the northern Pacific Ocean and is populated by over 1.2 million.

The Western region’s higher education system includes 435 universities and colleges that enroll more than 2.2 million undergraduate students annually in the fall. Of these institutes, 157 are public and 278 are private; 244 are four year institutes and 191 are two year colleges. Over 400 of the Western region’s universities and colleges are located in California, which has by far the highest number of postsecondary institutions in the United States.
