About the Center
The Regional Center is a motivational, challenging, and enriching federally funded program for high school students. It provides academic instruction through a six-week residential program, year-round support in preparing students for college admission, and opportunities for exposure to new technology and developments in the world of science.
Where is the program located?
The campus of California Lutheran University is just one hour north of Los Angeles, in the city of Thousand Oaks. The campus affords a beautiful and relaxed setting for the summer residential program, within a half hour of both the mountains and beaches. Campus facilities include a new and well-equipped science center, computer laboratories, and a new library. Recreational facilities on campus include volleyball and tennis courts, soccer and football fields, and extensive grounds.
Thousand Oaks is one of the prime scientific research and development areas of the country. TRC students will have an opportunity to interact with scientists at the leading high technology companies in the area.
