Shaping our Future with a new Academic Plan
Over the course of the last several years, our senior leadership team has been developing a strategic academic plan for the campus—one that sets the course for an exciting and bold academic future.
UCSC truly is a distinguished research university committed to high-quality undergraduate and graduate education. Even in today’s stressful economic climate, the future for UC Santa Cruz is bright and promising—and our ongoing accomplishments demonstrate our ability to continue our progress.
Recent highlights of our progress are listed to the right. I also encourage you to review our communications page and I invite your feedback and engagement as we move forward.
