Susan and Henry Samueli’s gift will build the college, endow it, and provide for fellowships, scholarships, research, and other programs.

Broadcom founder Henry Samueli and his wife, Susan, gave $200 million to create a new health-sciences college at University of California at Irvine, the institution announced today.

The research, teaching, and patient-care services at the new Susan and Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences will focus on integrative health, a type of health care that centers on treating the whole person using several types of therapeutic, preventive, and other care.

Susan and Henry Samueli’s gift will build the college, endow it, and provide for fellowships, scholarships, research, and other programs.

Broadcom founder Henry Samueli and his wife, Susan, gave $200 million to create a new health-sciences college at University of California at Irvine, the institution announced today.

The research, teaching, and patient-care services at the new Susan and Henry Samueli College of Health Sciences will focus on integrative health, a type of health care that centers on treating the whole person using several types of therapeutic, preventive, and other care.

Of the total, $55 million will build the new college and $145 million will endow the college and back fellowships, scholarships, research, and other programs.

The new college will act as the umbrella of the university’s healthcare departments, eventually including the School of Medicine, the Sue and Bill Gross School of Nursing, the School of Pharmacy, and the School of Population Health.

The couple are longtime givers to the university, having previously contributed more than $70 million to the institution, including a $30 million gift they announced earlier this year for a new engineering building; and in 1999, they gave $20 million for the Henry Samueli School of Engineering. They started supporting integrative health care 16 years ago with $5.7 million in 2001 to establish the Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine.

Mr. Samueli is not an alumnus of the university. (He graduated from UCLA and earned a master’s degree and a Ph.D. there.) However, he has served as an adjunct professor in the electrical-engineering and computer-science department.

Editor’s Note: A previous version of this article stated that Mr. Samueli pleaded guilty in 2008 of making a false statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission. That sentence has been deleted because Mr. Samueli’s conviction was thrown out by a federal judge a few months later.

We welcome your thoughts and questions about this article. Please email the editors or submit a letter for publication.
