Congratulations on your acceptance into the Freshman Summer Start Program! Your next step is to select your summer
courses. This document includes the list of classes available to you during FSSP as well as the steps to enrollment.
Next Steps
1. Review the schedule of classes (read the course descriptions and consider which classes you would like to take).
2. Complete the online course enrollment form, sent to FSSP students upon admission into the program.
If you are having trouble accessing or submitting the course enrollment form, please send an email to
fssp@summer.ucsb.edu
.
Course Enrollment Process
After reviewing the schedule of classes and utilizing the additional resources on pages 4-10, you will need to submit
your course preferences through the online FSSP course enrollment form. When completing the course enrollment
form, please consider the following:
• The course enrollment form requires you to submit 6 unique course preferences. Please do not list the same course
more than once, as it will not increase your chance of being enrolled in that course and will likely delay your course
enrollment process.
• FSSP advising staff will make every attempt to enroll you in top course preferences. However, given scheduling
conicts, course space, and other considerations, this might not always be possible. Please check your UCSB email
regularly, as FSSP advising staff might need to contact you via email with clarifying questions or to request additional
course preferences from you.
• Please be sure to send your ofcial test scores (SAT, ACT, SAT Subject tests, TOEFL, AP, and/or IB) immediately to
UCSB if you have not already done so. Scores must be submitted directly from the testing agency.
• If you request a course that you’re currently fullling a prerequisite for (or recently completed at the end of your
senior year), we will need to place you into a ller course to help you maintain eligibility to participate in FSSP. After
your ofcial AP/IB/SAT/ACT scores have conrmed your placement, FSSP advising staff will adjust your schedule
accordingly where possible.
• You will receive email communication from FSSP advising staff once your preliminary schedule is complete with
instructions about how to view it on GOLD.
• As you participate in orientation this summer and sign up for your Fall 2022 courses, please be mindful of the
courses that you listed on your enrollment form for FSSP, as you cannot be registered for the same course during two
separate quarters.
• The online course enrollment form can only be submitted once. As such, please be thoughtful about your course
choices as you complete it. If you would like to make changes to your preliminary schedule, you will need to submit
the FSSP Schedule Change Request form (this form can also only be submitted once). These requests will be
accommodated only as time and space permit, and submission of this form does not guarantee that your schedule
will be changed. Please email fssp@summer.ucsb.edu to request the FSSP Schedule Change Request form.
• You will learn how to make changes to your class schedule during orientation and will have access to make
adjustments to your own FSSP schedule on GOLD on the evening of July 29, 2022, prior to the start of classes.
Schedule of Classes
Many of the courses listed in this guide will help you fulll specic General Education (GE) or pre-major requirements.
Many will also fulll Special Subject area requirements unique to your College. You will also have the opportunity to
enroll in FSSP Seminars and Courses that have been created for, and are only available to, FSSP students. This packet

Special Seminars and Courses
FSSP Common Course
Interdisciplinary (INT) 95A
All students participating in FSSP will enroll in this 2-unit
course — INT 95A. The Modern Research University.
The course is only available to FSSP students and is
moderated by the FSSP Director, Dr. Ralph Gallucci. This
course introduces stu dents to internationally recognized
research currently being conducted on campus. As part
of the course, students will meet faculty and learn about
opportunities to become involved in undergraduate
research during their time at UCSB. In small TA sections,
graduate student mentors will further introduce students
to all the opportunities and resources available to them on
campus.
First Year Exploration Seminars
UC Santa Barbara offers an exciting educational opportunity
for members of the freshman class — First Year Exploration
Seminars. These small group seminars, with a maximum
of twenty students, will be taught by faculty who have
volunteered their time and effort because they want
to teach students who are early in their UCSB careers.
Facilitating student-faculty contact is one of the major goals
of the First Year Exploration Seminar. Students have the
opportunity to take up to three of the following First Year
Exploration Seminars during FSSP:
INT 94FC. Screen Classics: From The Gladiator to the
Clash of the Titans (1 unit)
This class examines several Hollywood lms dealing with
classical subjects, both historical and mythological, which
have been produced in the last twenty years. We will view
excerpts from the Gladiator (2000), Troy (2004), Alexander
the Great (2004), the HBO series Rome (2005-2007),
Lightning Thief (2010), and The Clash of the Titans (2010),
and ask what social trends may be behind this renaissance
of interest in classics; we will also attempt to nd the generic
patterns evinced by these lms, whose target audiences
range from children to adult audiences with taste for violent
and explicitly sexual material. Our goal in noting tendencies
and generic patterns will be to identify the role that the
classical past has come to play in popular culture.
INT 94GZ. Mummies, Myths and Magic: Surviving
Death in Ancient Egypt (1 unit)
The ancient Egyptians and Nubians spent a great deal of
time and effort preparing for the afterlife, making mummies
and providing them with the equipment that would allow
them to live forever.
Mummies have been a source of fascination for centuries
— witness most recently the success of Universal’s remake
of “The Mummy.” So what makes a mummy? What was
the most important funerary equipment for a successful
afterlife? Just how much did immortality cost an average
or above average ancient Egyptian? Drawing upon his own
work for the recent Mummy movies, archeology at Luxor’s
Theban Necropolis and in Sudanese Nubia, Professor Smith
will explore some modern myths and the fascinating insights
we can gain from mummies and their equipment.
INT 94IM. Research Methods and Opportunities in the
Social Sciences (1 unit)
Leading professors in the social sciences are doing some
exciting work at UCSB, and this course provides a glimpse
into what they have been up to. Whether their research
has been about banking policy, political behavior, mass
communication and popular culture, or race, class, and
gender inequality, their work has had a major impact on our
understanding of complex social processes and problems.
This course will focus on how your professors develop
research projects, the methods they have used to gather
new information, and then the brilliant theories they have
proposed to explain their ndings. Through this discussion,
students will get a better sense of the multiple career
opportunities available to students interested in the social
sciences, including careers in law, business, public policy,
and other related professions. We end with a discussion
of the many opportunities available to undergraduates to
engage in research, either on their own projects, or as a
research assistant to a faculty member.
INT 94RG. Introduction to Engineering and its
Applications (1 unit)
This seminar sequence provides an overview of electrical,
me chanical, and computer engineering in a concise and
compre hensive manner. The full-spectrum topics include
communica tions, signal processing, VLSI, control systems,
robotics, and computer-aided design in hardware, software,
system integration, as well as industrial applications. The
seminars will also give you an excellent perspective of
the curriculum, the advancement in the industry, as well
as research directions in graduate study. In addition to
presentations by faculty, the course includes a tour of
engineering research facilities.

Intro to Undergraduate Research Course
Classics 99. Introduction to Undergraduate Research in
the Humanities: The History of Democracy (1-3 units)
We live in a democracy. Most of us likely believe that it is
the best form of government, but what is its historical
background? This class traces the origins of democratic
government from ancient times up through the present.
We begin in ancient Iraq, in a kingdom called Sumer, and
read about a political system called “primitive democracy.”
We will also look at other examples of “primitive
democracy” in evidence among ancient tribal societies
and chiefdoms and in the modern anthropological record.
We next examine the political systems of the Greeks
and Romans, and how they have inuenced our modern
notions of democracy as well as socialism and communism
since medieval times.
College of Letters and Science
Honors Program Opportunities
Students in the Honors Program can meet their rst year
hon ors experience requirement this summer by enrolling in
