POV: You go to college in a Redwood Forest - UC Santa Cruz
One of the 10 campuses of the esteemed University of California system, UC Santa Cruz is the closest UC to Silicon Valley, nestled in a redwood forest with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. At UC Santa Cruz, we say we are a community that values social justice and environmental stewardship, and where students benefit from the combination of Tier 1 research, an interdisciplinary approach to learning, and our distinctive residential college system. Whether you're interested in studying Computer Science (or another major in our well-known Jack Baskin School of Engineering), Film and Digital Media, or any other of our 75 innovative majors, UC Santa Cruz will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and connections to put you on the path to success.
