Starting this fall, UCSC’s Oakes College is expected to offer a new residential science program. Although the college has typically been focused on classes involving social justice and diversity, the college is expanding to host about 75 science and engineering students. The residential program will also offer tutoring and discussion sessions, field trips, guest speakers, and other learning activities that will take place outside of the classroom. University officials hope the new program will prepare students for teaching science and laboratory research.
