ESP Academic Courses

The core of each of our program choices is the academic curriculum. UCSB's Pre-College Programs offer over 100 UC Santa Barbara courses in which high school students may enroll. These courses are regular UC Santa Barbara courses with regular UCSB students in and carry university credit that transfer to universities nationwide.   Courses are subject to change, though only on rare occasions.
