A Word from the Chancellor
A
s we begin the 2002-03 academic year, I am proud and pleased to welcome you to
UCSB. We are so glad to have you here.
UCSB has a tradition of emphasizing both our undergraduate and graduate pro¬
grams, with a friendly environment in which students, staff, and faculty from richly
diverse backgrounds and perspectives can explore and learn together. We are all deep¬
ly committed to helping you achieve your academic and personal goals, and we hope
that you will take full advantage of all that our campus has to offer.
This is an exciting time for our campus. Our reputation as a leading research and
teaching institution continues to grow. UCSB is one of the select 63 institutions that
belong to the Association of American Universities, which comprises only the top one
and one-half percent of all the universities and colleges in the United States and Cana¬
da. A survey of U.S. universities in 21 fields by Science Watch ranked UCSB among the
top ten highest impact universities, based on the citation rate of research papers by
our faculty.
Your teachers here at UCSB are among the best in their disciplines. Our renowned
faculty includes three Nobel Prize winners; a National Humanities Medal winner;
Guggenheim fellows; fellows of the National Endowment for the Humanities; recipi¬
ents of the National Medal of Science and National Medal of Technology; and mem¬
bers of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of
Sciences, and the National Academy of Engineering.
Our undergraduate programs share the same high standards of excellence as our
graduate and research programs. About one-quarter of our undergraduates take the
opportunity to pursue research and other scholarly activities by working with faculty
members and other students on organized research projects. The intellectual diversity
that is crucial to our scholarly community is paired with a demographic diversity that
distinguishes UCSB.
The recognition of our academic excellence by many important indicators under¬
scores the pre-eminence of our professors, the strength of the academic programs in
which you will participate, and the high quality of the student community of which
you are an important member.
There are many opportunities here for you to learn about yourself, your communi¬
ty, and your world. Perhaps you will join some of UCSB’s 300 clubs, or participate—as
do 80 percent of your fellow students—in intramural sports. You could become a vol¬
unteer in the community, as nearly half of our students do, or become active in stu¬
dent life through the Associated Students, Graduate Students Association, special
internships, or any number of other opportunities.
Whatever you decide to do, we are here to support and encourage you in your jour¬
ney of discovery. You are valued members of our community of scholars and of our
UCSB family.
Welcome again!

graduate level. Competition for admission is at an all time high. Last year, the
campus welcomed the most academically competitive and ethnically diverse class
it had ever enrolled.
The College of Letters and Science offers nearly 80 majors, with the biological
sciences, communications, and economics among the most popular fields. The
College of Creative Studies offers an alternative approach for students pursuing
advanced, independent work in the arts, mathematics, or the sciences. The
College of Engineering offers degree programs in chemical, computer, electrical,
and mechanical engineering, and in computer science. The university also has two
professional schools: the Donald Bren School of Environmental Science and
Management, and the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education.
A leading research institution, UCSB is one of the 63 research-intensive
institutions selected for membership in the prestigious Association of American
Universities. The distinguished 900-member faculty includes three Nobel Prize
