The Campus
This year’s program will be held at the University of California in Berkeley, a global leader in education, research, and environmental stewardship. As the world's premier public university and a hub of innovation and technology, UC Berkeley will provide the perfect setting for students to study the environmental issues impacting our planet.
Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, UC Berkeley has been at the forefront of thought leadership since the 1960’s. In addition. There are 7 Nobel Laureates, 28 MacArthur Fellows, and 4 Pulitzer Prize winners among its active faculty.
Here are a few other reasons why we selected UC Berkeley as the location for AYUSA World Leaders program this summer:
- UC Bekeley's alumni embody the spirit of innovation and include Steve Wozniak the Co-Founder of Apple Computers, Jack London the author of Call of the Wild and Tom Anderson the founder and creator of MySpace.
- UC Berkeley's undergraduate and graduate programs consistently rank among the world's best. Rich opportunities for groundbreaking research, innovative thinking and creativity are the cornerstones of UC Berkeley's success and positive impact on the world.
- The San Francisco Bay Area is at the forefront of technology and global business. It is home to some of the most cutting edge companies in the world such as Google, Apple, Tesla Motors and Salesforce.
We will also organize tours with the UC Berkeley Admissions office if you are interested in attending UC Berkeley for undergraduate studies. The Admissions staff can answer your questions about the application process, financial aid and residential life.
