The College of Letters & Science encourages undergraduates to expand their interests and knowledge beyond the traditional classroom setting. As part of UCSB's mission as a research institution, the Office of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities was developed as a resource to help guide students toward experiential education opportunities. URCA seeks to enrich student's time at UCSB and equip them with the skills needed to achieve their future personal, academic, and professional goals.
