UCs are considered more highly accredited than CSU(In California) meaning its harder to get into a UC than a CSU, they have more and stricter requirements, but i really dont see the difference, even people from CSUs continue post graduate education, if they wanted hands on learning they could have gone to a vocational school instead of a university.

In California we have 3 public college "systems." California Community Colleges, California State Universities, and Universities of California.
An arguable definition between the "state" schools and the UCs is this:
A CSU - The strategy of a CSU is hands on learning. They are trying to prepare you for the industry of your major. At a CSU you will have the knowledge, license, training, and often on-the-job experience for your career in 4 years. At the CSU they want to turn you into a tax payer.
A UC - This is a research based education, rather than hands on learning. While you can go on to your career in 4 years, many UC grads move on to pursue post graduate degrees before entering the work force.
