We are so glad to have you here. UCSB has a tradition of emphasizing both our undergraduate and graduate pro¬ grams, with a friendly environment in which students, staff, and faculty from richly diverse backgrounds and perspectives can explore and learn together. We are all deep¬ ly committed to helping you achieve your academic and personal goals, and we hope that you will take full advantage of all that our campus has to offer. This is an exciting time for our campus. Our reputation as a leading research and teaching institution continues to grow. UCSB is one of the select 61 institutions that belong to the Association of American Universities, which comprises only the top one and one-half percent of all the universities and colleges in the United States and Cana¬ da. A survey of U.S. universities in 21 fields by Science Watch ranked UCSB among the top ten highest impact universities, based on the citation rate of research papers hy our faculty. Your teachers here at UCSB are among the best in their disciplines. Our renowned faculty includes two 2000 Nobel Prize winners, one in chemistry and one in physics; a 1998 Nohel Prize winner in chemistry; a 1997 National Humanities Medal winner; Guggenheim fellows; fellows of the National Endowment for the Humanities; recipi¬ ents of the National Medal of Science and National Medal of Technology; and mem¬ bers of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering. Our undergraduate programs share the same high standards of excellence as our graduate and research programs. About one-quarter of our undergraduates take the opportunity to pursue research and other scholarly activities by working with faculty mentors. The intellectual diversity that is crucial to our scholarly community is paired with a demographic diversity that distinguishes UCSB. The recognition of our academic excellence by many important indicators under¬ scores the preeminence of our professors, the strength of the academic programs in which you will participate, and the high quality of the student community of which you are an important member. There are many opportunities here for you to learn about yourself, your communi¬ ty, and your world. Perhaps you will join some of UCSB’s 300 clubs, or participate—as do 80 percent of your fellow students—in intramural sports. You could become a vol¬ unteer in the community, as nearly half of our students do, or become active in stu¬ dent life through the Associated Students, Graduate Students Association, special internships, or any number of peer work opportunities. Whatever you decide to do, we are here to support and encourage you in your jour¬ ney of discovery. You are valued members of our community of scholars and of our UCSB family. Welcome again! Henry T. Yang UCSB's faculty includes three Nobel Prize P winners and alm-framed vistas of the blue Pacific and the golden Santa Ynez Mountains. The scent of eucalyptus mixed with the saltwater breeze. Breathtaking natural dozens of beauty combined with enormous intellectual vitality. This is the University of California, Santa Barbara, and there is no other campus quite like it, anywhere. members of the Here on the edge of the Pacific, in a setting removed from urban pressures and distractions but vibrant with cultural and academic activity, many of the country’s National Academy most promising students join a community of scholars whose accomplishments are internationally recognized and whose skills as teachers of undergraduates are of Sciences, the evident each day in laboratories and classrooms designed for the 21st century. UCSB fosters new approaches to learning that are not bound by tradition, National Academy stressing collaboration between students and their instructors across disciplinary lines, often in small classes. This is among the chief reasons why so many top of Engineering, students and renowned scholars are attracted to the campus. More than a quarter of all undergraduates are involved in original research, working on teams with and the American graduate students and faculty members. Such hands-on scholarship, conducted under the supervision of professors who are eminent in their fields, fosters critical Academy of Arts thinking skills and helps prepare students for future careers and advanced study. The university enrolls some 19,000 students, about 2,500 of them at the and Sciences. graduate level. Competition for admission is at an all time high. Last year, the campus welcomed the most academically competitive and ethnically diverse class it had ever enrolled. The College of Letters and Science offers nearly 80 majors, with the biological sciences, communications, and economics among the most popular fields. The College of Creative Studies offers an alternative approach for students pursuing advanced, independent work in the arts, mathematics, or the sciences. The College of Engineering offers degree programs in chemical, computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering, and in computer science. The university also has two professional schools: the Donald Bren School of Environmental Science and Management, and the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education. A leading research institution, UCSB is one of the 65 research-intensive institutions selected for membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities. The distinguished 900-member faculty includes three Nobel Prize
