Admissions
Pre-Application: For International Students Only
The online pre-application provides prospective international students with an opportunity to state their interest in an academic department or program through the submission of contact information, educational history, and academic interests. While not an evaluative tool, the pre-application enables departments and students to gauge compatibility, identify special needs, and communicate important program information.
Some international students may be required by their department to complete this pre-application for graduate study at UCSB. Items which are required for those international students are marked in red.
Please do not submit this pre-application if the department or program you are interested in, is not listed in the 'Major of Interest' drop-down menu. Pre-Applications that are submitted cannot be forwarded to another program.
We recommend that you visit the web page of your department of interest to find more detailed information about specific graduate programs.
