Our Best Answer - What are the eligibility requirements for Graduate Admission?

Graduate Admission Eligibility

To be considered for admission, applicants must have:

  • Received a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from an accredited university prior to the quarter for which the applicant seeks admission
  • At least a B average in undergraduate coursework

Additionally, each department has its own criteria for admission. Please visit Departments and Programs for requirements.

Satisfaction of minimal standards does not, however, guarantee admission. Since the number of qualified applicants far exceeds the number of places available, many well-qualified applicants cannot be accommodated.

For more information, please visit the Graduate Division's website here. For further assitance, please contact the Graduate Admissions Staff by email gradadmissions@graddiv.ucsb.edu. For specific questions relating to a department, please contact the department directly.
