UCSB Achievement Program
Other Pages In Student Services
The UCSB Achievement Program sponsors various activities to increase
access and provide support for students interested in the physical and
life sciences, engineering, and the mathematical sciences. Academic
workshops are offered each quarter of the academic year for students
enrolled in key science, engineering, and mathematics courses. These
workshops bring small groups of students together with graduate and
undergraduate Achievement Program staff to focus on attaining a high
level of success in their coursework. During the academic year and
summer, selected students receive support to carry out advanced
independent projects under the direction of UCSB faculty. In order to
get the experience and skills needed for advanced work, eligible
students with little or no research experience can apply for an
apprenticeship to work on a team project led by a graduate student.
The Summer Institute in Mathematics and Science, an intensive
three-week in-residence experience, is offered in collaboration with
the EOP/Summer Transitional Enrichment Program (STEP) to entering
freshmen with strong high school preparation in the sciences and
mathematics.
The Achievement Program Center is located at South Hall 4631. For more information, students should call (805) 893-8801.
