| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
| UC Santa Barbara is a coeducational public university, which operates on a quarter system, set on bluff about the Pacific Ocean, 90 miles north of Los Angeles.
After six decades as a campus of the University of California, UCSB is recognized for strong teaching and research, interdisciplinary programs, and a commitment to innovation.
UCSB is one of just 62 members of the prestigious Association of American Universities, in the top two percent of colleges and universities in North America. The campus hosts 12 national research centers, eight of them supported by the National Science Foundation. The quality and stature of undergraduate programs are highly ranked. U.S. News & World Report ranks UC Santa Barbara among the top 50 universities in the country. |

| UNIQUE PROGRAMS |
| A leading research university with five Nobel laureates on the faculty, UCSB leads many undergraduates into research, presentations in the annual colloquium, and out into the labs of seashore and mountains that surround the campus.
Three colleges create a vigorous learning environment: Letters and Science with majors ranging from Aquatic Biology and Psychology to Film and Philosophy. Creative Studies is a "graduate school for undergrads." The College of Engineering is at the forefront of materials science, nanotechnology and computer engineering. A commitment to "interdisciplinarity" ensures collaboration across borders in pursuit of new knowledge. |
