In 2014, UCSB was recognized as a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) by the U.S. Department of Education, making the campus eligible for new federal funding to develop new capacities and programs. A-CAUSE is funded by a Department of Education Title V HSI grant that supports these purposes. To strengthen the academic success and retention of undergraduates, A-CAUSE delivers two main areas of activity: enhancing undergraduate research opportunities and faculty professional development.
