Advising & Academics
Kresge College’s academics are organized around three areas: the Core Course for first-year students, the Transfer Curriculum for transfer students, and the Enhancement Curriculum open to all undergraduates. These programs invite students to reflect on big questions about learning, support the transition to UC Santa Cruz, and offer opportunities in creative practice, collaborative reading, and college and life skills. Academic advising, seminars, and workshops connect classroom learning with the broader university experience.
