UC Santa Barbara (UCSB)

The vast majority of students live within walking distance of their classes. Seven miles of bikeways link this close-knit academic community, giving students easy access to a rich array of social, cultural, academic, and athletic events.

As an institution, we are very much like many of our undergraduates: vibrant, energetic, and eager to begin the serious business of inventing the future. We are too young to be complacent, too excited by unfolding possibilities to retreat into ivy-covered towers.

The preeminent scholarship, instruction, and public service that define UCSB have helped shape our identity as a place of enormous and exceptional possibility - a magnet for innovation. In the humanities and the arts as well as in engineering and the sciences, UC Santa Barbara introduces students to novel ways of thinking, learning, and conducting research.

We hope you'll consider joining us on this intellectual adventure.
