Welcome New Students
Congratulations and welcome from the faculty, staff and students of Sixth College! We are delighted that you will be joining us as a Sixth College student.
Sixth College draws its creative inspiration from the interdisciplinary examination of culture, art and technology. We will be preparing you to become an effective global citizen through the college's academic and co-curricular programs, and teaching you to become innovative, interconnected, and aware.
We have designed our orientation program to introduce you to the abundant possibilities available to you at UC San Diego and through the Sixth College community. The College's staff is committed to providing you a smooth transition as you embark on this exciting new time in your life.
We look forward to meeting you!
