Greetings from the Provost & EVCAA

Dear Prospective Student,

As you consider your next steps, you may wonder what separates one university from another. What makes us unique? At USCB we are strong in many academic areas, but the feature that most sets us apart is our focus on experiential learning—or learning by doing.

Our faculty have made it a priority to engage students in transformative activities like undergraduate research, service learning, internships and study abroad. As USCB faculty tackle the region’s biggest challenges—protecting our coastal ecosystems, improving health outcomes, enhancing educational opportunities and others—they bring their students along on the journey, engaging them in meaningful research and service.

At USCB you will have the chance to make a difference— for the environment, in our community, and in the lives of others. All this is part of earning a top-notch USCB education that will prepare you for the fast-changing world and economy where you will live and work.

Thank you for considering USCB. If you have any questions about our academic programs, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We hope to see you on campus soon.

FINS UP! 🦈
