International Admission

The University of California, Santa Barbara welcomes students from other countries. At the present time, 245 undergraduate and 611 graduate students from 69 countries are studying here. An international applicant is a student who holds or expects to hold a student, exchange, visitor, or diplomatic visa and who wishes to attend school in the United States.

UC Santa Barbara is a highly selective institution and the number of qualified applicants far exceeds the number of places we have available for new students. We look for very high scholastic achievement, depth and breadth of preparatory coursework, and excellent test scores.

Please note that UCSB considers for admission those students who will be first-time freshmen (first year) or those who transfer as juniors (third year). We accept applications from international students for the fall term only.

The credentials of an international undergraduate applicant are evaluated in accordance with the general regulations governing admission.
