“These rankings reflect UC Santa Barbara’s remarkable strength across a wide variety of disciplines and departments,” Executive Vice Chancellor David Marshall said in an Office of Public Affairs and Communications (OPAC) news release. “Excellence across the campus contributes to the interdisciplinary environment that allows us to provide our students with a deep and broad education, while stimulating innovative research and scholarship.”
Our campus truly is “soaring,” and in keeping with that spirit, OPAC has created a video, “Soaring Over UCSB.” Enjoy a bird’s-eye view of our beautiful campus in the video above. For more information about UCSB’s rankings, read the OPAC news release.
