Separating cities and states with commas
I am aware that cities and states are formally separated from the rest of the sentence with commas.
Example: I live in Los Angeles, California, and I go to school here.
However, how do you apply this to a school? Namely, the school in question is the University of California, Los Angeles.
Please help me with the following sentence.
1.) Through the University of California, Los Angeles, Department of Chemistry, I am a volunteer for a chemistry internship.
2.) Through the University of California, Los Angeles Department of Chemistry, I am a volunteer for a chemistry internship.
Is the comma needed after "Angeles" in this case? Although it does seem awkward to have a pause between "Angeles" and "Department of Chemistry," is this the formal and correct way to do it?
Help appreciated,

Sorry for the barrage of questions, but I have one more question.
If I am formally introducing a university professor with a Ph.D., how should I address them in writing?
1.) Professor Ryan Woods, Ph.D.
2.) Dr. Ryan Woods, Ph.D.
3.) Ryan Woods, Ph.D.
I list #3 as an option because I realize the possibility that placing a title such as "Dr." in front of the person

Hey there, Clive,
To answer your first post, I am filling in an application and want to sound as formal as possible. Is there a way to go about this, or should I resort to the abbreviated form of the university?
As for your second post, thank you for pointing out to me that not all professors hold doctorates.
Thank you a million times, Clive!
By the way, are you

Hi,
The form "UCLA" seems to be widely used.
Yes, I'm a moderator.
Best wishes again, Clive

What about when you are listing multiple cities and states in succession? Do you use a comma?
I am working on a group project and my group member used semi-colons to separate pairs of cities/states:
Dayton, Ohio; North Haven, Connecticut; Denver, Colorado; and Richmond, Virginia
Is this correct, or should commas be used in this instance?
Thanks,
Brad

Hi,
What's the context? Is this list part of a sentence? If so, what is it?
