UC Santa Cruz students receive an education that combines the advantages of a small college setting with the resources of a major research university. Undergraduates have the opportunity to engage in in-depth learning while pursuing research and scholarship with leading figures in their fields.

UC Santa Cruz's grading system, which includes performance evaluations that students receive as a supplement to letter grades, illustrates the campus's commitment to student development.


In the divisional links below, you can learn about a few of the many opportunities for curricular and co-curricular engagement at UCSC, meet some of our extraordinary faculty, and read about the success stories of our students.

Freshmen who apply to UC Santa Cruz as “Undeclared” are assigned to an advising cluster.
