Santa Cruz invites high school seniors to apply for the
Student Resident String Ensembles. Ensemble members will receive
scholarship funds of up to $12,000*, participate in a number
of department-sponsored performances and public concerts,
and have the opportunity to be coached by Roy Malan, concertmaster

Music offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Undergraduate students receive a strong foundation in musicianship,
giving them excellent preparation for graduate work and professional
careers. With the opening of the campus's Music
Center in January 1997, a new era began for music at UCSC.
The state-of-the-art center is receiving rave reviews as one
of the best music performance facilities in northern California.
