Message from the Acting Director of Admissions
 
Welcome to UC Santa Cruz, where our faculty, students, and alumni are making a world of difference!

UC Santa Cruz combines the extraordinary resources of a major public research university with the personal attention of a small college setting. At our campus you will be able to:

  • Become empowered through learning both in the classroom and through undergraduate research, study abroad, and numerous other curricular and co-curricular opportunities.

  • Participate in the creation of new knowledge with student-engaged faculty working at the top of their fields.

  • Receive excellent preparation for graduate or professional school, or for your chosen career directly after graduation.
  • Study, live, and work in a setting that is remarkable not only for its natural beauty, but also for its accessibility to centers of innovative research in the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and Silicon Valley.

After you explore this web site, I welcome you to sign up for a tour so that you may see for yourself why UC Santa Cruz is one of the most exciting, dynamic universities in the world.

Sincerely,

Michael McCawley
Acting Director of Admissions
