About the Summer Research Programs at UC Santa Barbara

The Academic Research Consortium (ARC) hosts students from several research programs each summer, including UC LEADS, UCSB-CSU Summer Research Institute, Sally Casanova Pre-Doctoral Scholars, and Cal-Bridge, amongst other past programs. These summer research programs provide mentored research experiences in all disciplines to scholars with the potential to succeed in graduate study, but who have experienced situations or conditions that have adversely impacted their advancement in their field of study. The programs also foster students in scholarly research endeavors to help them achieve their personal and professional goals.

Scholars are matched individually with UCSB faculty and graduate student mentors who provide training and support during the summer program. As part of these summer programs, the scholars are provided the opportunity to explore their discipline, gain research experience, and receive support from their faculty and graduate student mentor.
