This summer high school students have the opportunity to learn more about economics and practice their leadership skills while relaxing along the pacific ocean on the beaches of Santa Barbara! From July 20th-August 5th our Economics for Leaders program will take place in this southern California city, often referred to as the American Riviera.

The current staff of UCSB include six Nobel Prize winners in various fields. In 2018 the university was listed among the best colleges in the US and ranked in the top 10 for best public universities!
