UC Santa Cruz has identified three academic priority areas — Earth Futures, Justice in a Changing World, and Digital Interventions – on which to focus its strategic efforts and provide an infusion of resources through 2023.
By focusing on these major areas of cross-disciplinary research, the university will build on its strengths as it imagines new avenues for creation, analysis, invention, and discovery.
The academic priority areas were created with input from faculty, students and other campus constituents through insight surveys, focus groups and open forums. The three areas selected will help the campus prioritize funding and development.
