UCSC is a world-class research and teaching university featuring interdisciplinary learning and a distinctive residential college system. From building more efficient solar cells to developing an artificial retina to restore sight, UC Santa Cruz's focus is on improving our planet and the lives of all its inhabitants. Within our extraordinary educational community, students, faculty, and staff create new knowledge, new technologies, and new ways of expressing and understanding cultures.
UC Santa Cruz offers an innovative, interdisciplinary education with a focus on undergraduate learning. Combining the advantages of a small college setting with the resources of a major research university, UCSC's faculty and researchers often partner with undergraduate students in their labs and research activities, and students often co- publish papers with their professors.
UC Santa Cruz is a distinctive community that inspires its students to achieve their goals, both inside and outside the classroom. The campus offers a myriad of opportunities for student engagement and support, including the 10 residential colleges; over 100 student organizations; sports including NCAA competition, sports clubs, and intramurals; and resources such as the Ethnic Resource Centers and Services for Transfer and Re-entry Students (STARS), just to name a few. The stunning natural beauty of our campus is a compelling backdrop for your educational journey. Our redwood forests, expansive meadows, and breathtaking views of the Monterey Bay are unmatched, while our location is conveniently near important resources for research and internships, such as Silicon Valley and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.
