A Message from the Associate Vice Chancellor for Graduate Affairs
At UC Santa Barbara, we know our best work happens when people from every background come together to share ideas, challenge one another, and create change. Diversity isn't just something we value - it's essential to who we are.
We're committed to being a place where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore boldly, grow professionally, and prepare for meaningful careers.
We're glad you're considering joining our community of scholars, and we can’t wait to see the perspectives and experiences you'll bring.
