UC San Diego Academic Connections

Academic Connections connects high achieving high school students with college subject matter courses and experiences. Participation in Academic Connections provides students the opportunity to experience life and learning in the lab and/or in the classroom. Instruction is provided by grad students in a wide array of academic disciplines, renown UCSD faculty researchers and scientists in the field. It has never been more important to spark the imaginations of our students—to prepare them for a future world we can't even imagine. Innovations have never moved faster from the scientist's bench to our fingertips - this innovation changes the way we live, the way we work, and the way we communicate. Young people, more than ever, need to understand what is coming, become competent stewards and be prepared to take full advantage of new opportunities. This University is committed to help all students eliminate barriers to learning. We invite you to join us on this incredible journey and to be part of our vibrant community.
