College of Creative Studies

A Story of Radical Curiosity

In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, the College of Creative Studies launched The Create Fund to support original research, creative works, and entrepreneurial-focused activities of CCS students for an immersive summer experience. Our 400 students radiate radical curiosity.

 

They demonstrate enthusiasm for learning, the capacity to think independently, and a passion to pursue creative and academic work at the highest level. Our hands-on learning is quintessentially CCS!

 

We are grateful for the philanthropic support from our community of alumni, parents, and friends who play a critical role in providing the means for life-changing experiences for our students.

 

Your support during UCSB Give Day positively impacts this exceptional educational experience for current and future students!
