The Early Start program is open to students who have compiled outstanding high school academic records to get an early start on their college careers. Participating students will spend six weeks in a residential program at UCSB during which they enroll in two college courses. With the support of academic and tutorial services, and with a variety of educational, social and recreational opportunities, students can get a taste of university life prior to graduation from high school. The program runs June 24-August 3. Spaces are extremely limited and are awarded according to academic ability.
