Where we are<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UC Santa Cruz, located just above Monterey Bay on California\u2019s Central Coast, is uniquely positioned at the intersection of technology and agriculture. Just 45 minutes from the high-tech center of Silicon Valley and 25 minutes from the fertile farmlands of Watsonville, our geographic placement has helped us practice our social justice values as we seek to develop technology for the social good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the Santa Cruz area\u2019s diverse community and vibrant cultural scene mean students live among towering redwoods and misty ocean fog while also being close to city happenings, social engagement, cultural events, and opportunities for learning, growth, and recreation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
