Seventh College is the seventhundergraduate college atUC San Diego. Its primary focus is on interdisciplinary education. Seventh College admitted its first students in fall 2020.[3]
Planning for Seventh College began in 2017 to decompress existing colleges and accommodate anticipated growth.[3][4]
Seventh College's current residential area was built in 2011 as the Village at Torrey Pines, intended to be a community fortransfer students.[5]WithUC Board of Regents' approval of Seventh College, the Village for transfer students was moved to Pepper Canyon (previously the residential area forSixth College) and Rita Atkinson (previouslygraduate housing), and Seventh College was established in the Village's original campus.[3][6][7]For this reason, Seventh College consists entirely of apartments rather than a mix of residence hall suites and apartments.
