The campus @UCSB
One of ten campuses of the prestigious University of California system, UCSB provides an exciting intellectual environment. The campus community currently numbers about 18,000 students, of whom about 2,000 are graduate students. Because of its academic excellence, UCSB was elected in 1995 to the 60 member Association of American Universities. In the same year, the National Research Council conducted a comprehensive study of doctoral programs and ranked four of UCSB's programs in the top ten nationally. Six other programs were ranked in the top seven and 57 percent of programs were ranked within the top 25 percent nationwide. Over the last seven years, five faculty members have received Nobel Prizes. These honors attest to the high quality of UCSB's faculty, academic programs, and graduate students |
