| School mission | The University of California, Santa Cruz is one of the country's leading research universities, with an uncommon commitment to undergraduate teaching. Nestled on 2,000 acres of redwood forest and meadow overlooking the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, UC Santa Cruz is renowned for world-changing research in physics, marine sciences, environmental sciences, astronomy and astrophysics, and international economics, among other prestigious programs. The campus is home to the national Center for Adaptive Optics, the Laboratory for Adaptive Optics, the Center for Ocean Health, the Center for Justice, Tolerance and Community, and the nationally recognized summer repertory theater company Shakespeare Santa Cruz. In 1997, UC Santa Cruz launched the Jack Baskin School of Engineering, focusing on such important 21st century topics as information technology, nanotechnology, and biotechnology. The Baskin School of Engineering has been growing rapidly, having recently added innovative new majors in computer game design and bioengineering. It also offers one of the few undergraduate majors in bioinformatics in the country. |
