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.

| UNIQUE/SPECIAL 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. |
