Student Resource Highlight

With seven sessions of varying length to choose from, more than 10,000 students flock each summer to UCSB's Summer Sessions to pursue their unique educational goals. A widely varied curriculum boasts more than 600 courses across all disciplines to appeal to a diverse group of students.
Summertime vibes extend beyond the classroom through the Culture and Community Program, which welcomes the campus and broader Santa Barbara communities to enjoy films, performances, plays and events that enrich and enliven sun-soaked days. The general public is also invited to ignite their curiosity through GRIT Talks, an engaging annual lecture series featuring eight notable faculty, who share ways in which their research is shaping the future.
