ESP students enroll in two UC Santa Barbara courses during the six-weeks. High school students who are looking to increase their competitiveness when applying to UC’s or other top universities in the nation should enroll in this program. By taking two academic courses, ESP provides students the opportunity to explore some of the university’s different disciplines and gain valuable college experience that many admissions offices, including UC Santa Barbara’s, take into account when considering a student’s entire application. Many students choose to enroll in Writing and Math classes to help them prepare for other university level work. Other students choose to enroll in introductory courses in a discipline they are thinking about majoring in or are interested in learning more about. Regardless of what courses a student takes, ESP gives students a wide range of options and opportunities while studying at UC Santa Barbara. A minimum GPA of 3.3* is required for students wishing to enroll in the ESP.
