Graduate Admission

All GGSE programs require FALL quarter admission, except for the Credential programs, which require SUMMER admission. Applicants are advised to apply well in advance of the application deadline and should contact the Student Affairs Office for general admission requirements. Specific questions regarding program/emphasis requirements and course offerings should be directed to the program or department office.

Applications and specific program/emphasis requirements may be obtained from our Web site at www.education.ucsb.edu or by contacting: Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology, (805) 893-3375; Department of Education, (805) 893-4515; Teacher Education Program, (805) 893-2084.

Applicants must submit the online Application for Graduate Study through the Graduate Division (www.graddiv.ucsb.edu). Required application materials include a detailed statement of purpose, official transcripts, letters of recommendation, official Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores (in some cases, results from the Miller’s Analogies Test may be accepted), and program/emphasis-specific requirements (e.g., writing sample, credential application).  Admission to the Teacher Education Program and all credential programs requires a bachelor’s degree in an academic subject from a regionally accredited institution.
