Study abroad in Santa Barbara

Study abroad in Santa Barbara and soak up Southern California culture while immersing yourself in the English language. Santa Barbara is the northernmost coastal city in Southern California, known for its Spanish-influenced architecture, beautiful Pacific Ocean beaches, and calm, relaxed atmosphere. It's the perfect place to experience the California lifestyle without all the pressure of a big city. Whichever program you choose, we make sure that you'll always have time to enjoy the gorgeous weather when you study in Santa Barbara. After all, one of the key elements of your immersion program is plenty of practice outside of class.

A laid-back home base

Studying in Santa Barbara, you have easy access to the attractions of Southern California and a calm, comfortable home base to return to after a busy day. Disneyland is a 2-hour drive, and Hollywood is even closer. You can explore the mountains outside of Santa Barbara or enjoy a wine-tasting tour at one of the fine vineyards. History buffs can visit the area's Spanish-built missions, including the mission at Capistrano -- where the swallows return every year. With these experiences and more awaiting you when you study abroad in Santa Barbara, you will never run out of things to talk about with your new friends and classmates.
