Location

The Bren School of Environmental Science & Management is located on the UC Santa Barbara campus on the ocean side, just steps from the beach. Bren's proximity to the ocean is more than just location, it lends purpose and inspiration to the Bren community to preserve the balance of this pristine ecosystem, and others.

The UCSB campus is located in Santa Barbara, minutes from the Santa Barbara airport, and about 100 miles north of Los Angeles. Highway 101 provides easy access to points north and south in California.
