The University of California, Santa Barbara has taken positive steps to increase the representation of ethnic minorities, disadvantaged and disabled persons, and individuals of all ages in its academic programs. The university does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, or disability in admission to or participation in its programs, activities, or services.

Applying for Admission to UCSB

The first step in applying for admission to UCSB is to submit a University of California undergraduate application. The Application for Undergraduate Admission is available from California high schools and community colleges and from University of California campuses. The application and nonrefundable application fee should be sent to University of California, Undergraduate Application Processing Service, P.O. Box 23460, Oakland, CA 94623-0460; a pre-addressed envelope is included in the application.

When to apply for admission. To ensure admission consideration, students should file their completed applications during the appropriate filing periods.

Quarter Filing Periods

University of California Minimum Admission Requirements

All campuses of the University of California have the same minimum admission requirements. These requirements are used to identify the top 12.5 percent of California high school graduates and are based on two principles: (1) that the level of performance in previous academic work is the best predictor of university success, and (2) that the study of certain subjects provides sound preparation for university work.

Students who fulfill these minimum admission requirements are UC-eligible. In the event that UCSB receives applications from more UC-eligible applicants than can be accommodated, it admits students using selection criteria that are more rigorous than the minimum admission requirements.

Minimum Admission Requirements for Freshmen who are California Residents

Students are considered freshman applicants if they have not enrolled in a regular session at any college-level institution since graduating from high school. Enrollment in college summer session immediately following high school graduation does not affect the status of freshman applicants. Freshman applicants must satisfy the subject, scholarship, and examination requirements described below. These are the university's minimum admission requirements; satisfying them does not ensure admission to UCSB.

Subject Requirement

To satisfy the subject requirement, students must successfully complete a specific pattern of high school courses, known as the "a-f" requirements. Courses completed in California high schools satisfy the a-f requirements only if they appear on a course list certified by the high school principal. To fulfill the subject requirement, students must complete 15 units of coursework, seven of which must be taken in the student's last two years of high school. (A unit equals one academic year, or two semesters, of study.) Students are encouraged to exceed the a-f requirements whenever possible.

A-History/Social Science: 2 years required

Two years of history/social science, including one year of U.S. history or one-half year of U.S. history and one-half year of civics or American government; and one year of world history, cultures, and geography.

B-English: 4 years required

Four years of college-preparatory English composition and/or literature. No more than two semesters will be accepted from the ninth grade.

C-Mathematics: 3 years required, 4 recommended

Three years of mathematics, including elementary algebra, geometry, and second-year (advanced) algebra.

D-Laboratory Science: 2 years required, 3 recommended

Two years of laboratory science providing fundamental knowledge in at least two of these three areas: biology, chemistry, and physics. Not more than one year of ninth-grade laboratory science can be used to meet this requirement.

E-Foreign Language: 2 years required, 3 recommended

Two years of one foreign language.

F-College-Preparatory Elective Courses: 2 years required

Two years of electives.

Scholarship Requirement

The scholarship requirement defines the grade-point average (GPA) a student must earn in the a-f requirements. If the grade-point average is 3.30 or above, the student has met the scholarship requirement. If the grade-point average is below 3.30 but is 2.82 or above, the student must achieve an aptitude test score as specified in the University of California Eligibility Index on this page. Only grades earned in a-f subjects in the 10th, 11th, and 12th grades are used to calculate the GPA. Courses taken in 9th grade can be used to meet the Subject Requirement if a grade of C or better is earned, but they will not be used to calculate the GPA.

Examination Requirement

All freshman applicants must submit scores from the following tests.

1. One assessment test, either:

a. The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) I: Reasoning Test, with verbal and mathematics scores from the same sitting, or

b. The American College Test (ACT), composite score.

2. Three Scholastic Assessment Test II: Subject Tests (SAT II), including Writing, Mathematics Level 1 or Level 2, and one test in one of the following areas: English literature, foreign language, science, or social studies.

Students should take these tests in their junior year or by December of their senior year. Test dates and further information are available from high school counselors or the following sources:

Admission by Examination Alone

Freshman applicants who do not satisfy the subject and scholarship requirements may be considered for admission by examination alone. To qualify by examination alone, a California resident must achieve a composite score of 31 or higher on the ACT or a total score on the SAT I of 1400. Students must also score a minimum of 1760 on the three SAT II: Subject Tests with a minimum score of 530 on each.

Minimum Admission Requirements for Freshmen who are Nonresidents

Nonresidents must satisfy the admission requirements described below. These are the university's minimum admission requirements; satisfying them does not ensure admission to UCSB.

1. Completion of the a-f requirements with a minimum grade-point average of 3.40 and submission of required test scores (refer to the "Subject Requirement" and "Examination Requirement" sections above), or

2. Students must achieve a composite score of 31 or higher on the ACT or a total score on the SAT I of 1400. Students must score a minimum of 1850 on the three SAT II: Subject Tests with a minimum score of 530 on each.

Minimum Admission Requirements for Advanced-Standing Students who are California Residents

Students are considered advanced-standing applicants if they graduated from high school and enrolled in a regular session of any college-level institution. Such students cannot disregard their college records and apply for admission as freshman applicants.

Advanced-standing admission requirements differ depending upon the applicant's high school record (i.e., whether or not the applicant was UC-eligible upon high school graduation). Applicants should review their high school records with attention to the university's freshman admission requirements to determine which of the following advanced-standing options they must satisfy. The options described below are the university's minimum admission requirements. Students who fulfill these minimum admission requirements are UC-eligible. In the event that UCSB receives applications from more UC-eligible applicants than can be accommodated, it admits students using selection criteria that are more rigorous than the minimum admission requirements.

1. Students who met the university's freshman admission requirements upon graduation from high school (the subject, scholarship, and examination requirements) are eligible to transfer if they have a minimum grade-point average of 2.00 in their UC-transferable college coursework.

2. Students who met the freshman scholarship requirement but did not meet the freshman subject requirement are eligible to transfer if they:

a. complete, with a minimum grade of C, college courses in the required high school subjects that they lack, and

b. attain a minimum grade-point average of 2.00 in their UC-transferable college coursework.

Students who complete less than 12 quarter or semester units of UC-transferable college coursework must also satisfy the examination requirement.

3. Students who met the Subject Requirement but did not meet the Scholarship Requirement must complete 84 quarter units or 56 semester units of UC-transferable college credit with a minimum grade point average of 2.40.

4. Students who did not meet the freshman subject requirement and did not complete all the required a-f subjects, must:

a. complete 84 quarter units or 56 semester units of UC-transferable college credit with a minimum grade-point average of 2.40, and must satisfy either (b) or (c) below:

b. complete, with a minimum grade of C, college coursework in the required high school subjects that they lack (the university will waive up to 2 units of the required high school subjects except in mathematics and English), or

c. complete, with a minimum grade of C, one college course in mathematics, one in English, and one in either United States history, laboratory science, or foreign language. All courses, with the exception of the mathematics course, must be UC-transferable. The mathematics course must assume a proficiency level equivalent to three years of high school mathematics (i.e., elementary algebra, geometry, and advanced algebra). The course may be trigonometry or a more advanced course in mathematics or statistics for which advanced algebra is a prerequisite.

New requirements will apply for students planning to transfer in fall 1998 or after.

For further information about the university's advanced standing admission requirements, students should refer to the Application for Undergraduate Admission and Answers for Transfers and should consult their community college counselors.

Minimum Admission Requirements for Advanced- Standing Students who are Nonresidents

The advanced-standing admission requirements for nonresidents are identical to those for California residents except that nonresidents must attain a minimum grade-point average of 2.80 in their UC-transferable college coursework.

Admission Requirements for International Students

International students are governed by the same undergraduate admission regulations that apply to nonresident U.S. students. In addition, nonimmigrant applicants whose native language is not English must demonstrate written and oral competence in English by scoring 500 or above on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). For information on testing, students should contact: TOEFL, P.O. Box 6151, Princeton, NJ 08541-6151. Telephone: (609) 951-1963.

UCSB Selection Criteria

Each UC campus makes every effort to provide a place for all California resident applicants who meet the minimum eligibility requirements, and who file an application during the appropriate filing period. If the number of applicants exceeds the spaces available-as is often the case-the campus uses criteria that exceed the minimum requirements to select students. Meeting the minimum requirements, therefore, may not be enough to gain admission.

When there are more eligible applicants than spaces available, UCSB uses academic criteria alone-academic coursework, grade point average, SAT I or ACT results, and SAT II scores-to select between 40 and 60 percent of those accepted. It then uses a combination of academic and supplemental criteria to select the remaining admittees.

The selection criteria for the fall 1997 term are described in this section. The criteria vary from year to year according to the number and qualifications of applicants to each campus and program.

Freshman Criteria

College of Letters and Science

All UC-eligible applicants are reviewed based on grades, performance on standardized aptitude and achievement tests, completion of coursework beyond the university's a-f requirements, and completion of advanced placement and honors courses in grades 10, 11, and 12. Applicants with the strongest qualifications are admitted. The level of performance needed to gain admission varies from year to year depending on the size and academic quality of the applicant pool and the number of enrollment spaces.

UCSB relies on supplemental criteria to distinguish among applicants who present similar qualifications as measured by strictly academic criteria. Supplemental criteria include leadership experience, outstanding accomplishments, perseverance through extreme hardship, and participation in special activities that enhance academic and personal growth and demonstrate superior initiative and motivation.

UCSB also relies on supplemental criteria to identify for admission consideration applicants whose special talents or nontraditional status increase the strength and diversity of the student body. In addition, UCSB uses supplemental criteria to identify applicants whose achievement of their full academic potential has been restricted by disability or life experiences that reflect socioeconomic disadvantage.

College of Engineering

All UC-eligible applicants are reviewed based on grades, performance on standardized aptitude and achievement tests, completion of coursework beyond the university's a-f requirements, and completion of advanced placement and honors courses in grades 10, 11, and 12. Special emphasis is given to preparation and test results in science and mathematics. Applicants with the strongest qualifications are admitted. The level of performance needed to gain admission varies from year to year and by major depending on the size and academic quality of the applicant pool and the number of enrollment spaces.

UCSB relies on supplemental criteria to distinguish among applicants who present similar qualifications as measured by strictly academic criteria. Supplemental criteria include outstanding accomplishments which enhance academic growth, assist in the achievement of academic goals, and demonstrate superior initiative and motivation. UCSB also relies on supplemental criteria to identify for admission consideration applicants whose nontraditional status increases the strength and diversity of the student body, as well as applicants whose achievement of their full academic potential has been restricted by life experiences that reflect socioeconomic disadvantage. Applicants not admitted to Engineering are considered for admission to Letters and Science.

College of Creative Studies

UC-eligible applicants desiring admission to the College of Creative Studies must complete a separate (additional) application to Creative Studies which will be reviewed by the faculty. Applicants must submit the following materials directly to the college:

1.A College of Creative Studies application form

2.A personal letter of intent addressed to the provost in which the student states his or her academic interests, qualifications, and reasons for pursuing study in Creative Studies

3.High school and any college transcripts

4.Letters of recommendation (optional for Art and Literature)

5. Work in evidence of talent

Work submitted in evidence of talent includes, for art majors, slides or photographs of artwork; for literature majors, writing samples (for example, fiction or poetry and critical papers); for music majors, scores and recordings of musical compositions; for mathematics and science majors, examples of independent research or other evidence of an exceptional capacity for intellectual discovery (for example, a strong performance in the UCSB Undergraduate Fellowship and Prize Competition).

The Creative Studies application form and information on the college's application procedures are included in the Creative Studies brochure. Applicants to UCSB for fall quarter who list a Creative Studies emphasis as their first choice should receive a brochure in December. Other applicants must contact Creative Studies to get a brochure.

Applicants not admitted to Creative Studies are considered for admission to Letters and Science.

Advanced-Standing Criteria

College of Letters and Science

All UC-eligible transfer applicants are reviewed based on grades earned in UC transferable coursework, class level, and type of institution from which they are transferring. Applicants with the strongest academic qualifications are admitted, with priority admission consideration given to junior-level California community college applicants. The level of performance needed to gain admission varies from year to year depending on the size and academic quality of the applicant pool and the number of enrollment spaces. UCSB also relies on supplemental criteria to identify for admission consideration advanced-standing applicants whose special talents or nontraditional status increase the strength and diversity of the student body. In addition, UCSB uses supplemental criteria to identify advanced-standing applicants whose achievement of their full academic potential has been restricted by disability or life experiences that reflect socioeconomic disadvantage.

College of Engineering

All UC-eligible transfer applicants are reviewed based on grades earned in UC transferable coursework, amount of engineering preparatory coursework completed, and grades earned in preparatory coursework. Successful completion of at least one course in English composition is required for admission, and completion of two to three transferable general education courses is strongly recommended. Applicants with the strongest academic qualifications are admitted. The level of performance needed to gain admission varies from year to year and by major depending on the size and academic quality of the applicant pool and the number of enrollment spaces. UCSB also relies on supplemental criteria to identify for admission consideration advanced-standing applicants whose nontraditional status increases the strength and diversity of the student body as well as applicants whose achievement of their full academic potential has been restricted by life experiences that reflect socioeconomic disadvantage.

College of Creative Studies

Selection criteria and application procedures are the same as those noted in the "Freshman Criteria, College of Creative Studies" section.

Limited Status

Students with a bachelor's degree who would like to complete additional upper-division coursework to prepare for graduate study and professional programs may qualify for admission to limited status. Students must file the Application for Undergraduate Admission during the appropriate filing period. Applications are subject to review and must be approved by both the director of admissions and the dean or provost of the college in which the student plans to enroll. Admission is selective and competitive; if enrollment limitations allow, admission will be granted to students whose academic records demonstrate their potential to succeed in their proposed area of study.

Admission by Exception

UCSB gives special consideration to a limited number of freshman and transfer applicants who show potential to succeed at the University even though they do not meet the minimum admission requirements.

Intercampus Transfer

Students may apply to transfer from one UC campus to another by submitting the Application for Undergraduate Admission to the campus of their choice. Applications are available from the Office of Relations with Schools. If enrollment limitations allow, admission will be granted to students who are in good standing.

Credit from Other Institutions

UCSB accepts transferable coursework completed with satisfactory grades at accredited institutions, subject to the limitations described below. Most courses in academic subjects are transferable if UC offers a comparable course. Vocational courses and personal enrichment courses do not qualify for transfer credit. In most cases, UCSB will not grant credit for coursework which students complete at other institutions while they are also enrolled at UCSB.

Community College Limitations

Students may earn unit credit for up to 105 quarter units (70 semester units) of UC-transferable community college coursework.

Study Abroad Limitations

Study abroad programs sponsored by institutions and organizations other than the University of California's Education Abroad Program (EAP) are of varying quality. In many cases UCSB will not grant credit for completed coursework, even to students who have been issued an official transcript. Students should contact UCSB's Office of Admissions, as well as their department and college advisors, prior to undertaking study abroad to determine whether or not credit will be granted and, if so, how it will be applied.

Requirements

(See Appendix for information on "Catalog Years.")

University Bachelor's Degree Requirements

To be eligible for a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara, students must meet the general university requirements, described below, and the appropriate general education and major requirements in their college, described in subsequent sections of this catalog and in the publications of the colleges. (See Appendix for information regarding "Catalog Years.") They must also comply with university regulations governing registration, scholarship, examinations, and student conduct. (Refer to the chapter "Academic Policies and Procedures.")

University bachelor's degree requirements include the Subject A-English Composition requirement, the American History and Institutions requirement, the unit requirement, the academic residence requirement, the grade-point average requirement, and major requirements.

Subject A-English Composition Requirement

All students entering the University of California must demonstrate an ability to write effectively by fulfilling the Subject A requirement. The Subject A requirement may be met in one of five ways prior to admission:

1. by achieving a score of 660 or higher on the SAT II: Subject Test in Writing (formerly the College Board Achievement Test in English Composition);

2. by achieving a grade of 3 or higher on the College Board Advanced Placement Examination in English Composition and Literature or English Language and Composition;

3. by passing the University of California systemwide Subject A Examination while in high school;

4. by achieving a score of 5 or higher on the International Baccalaureate (higher level) English A Examination;

5. by entering the university with transcripts showing the completion of an acceptable 3-semester unit or 4-quarter unit course in English composition equivalent to Writing 2 at UCSB, with a grade of C or better.

Students who have not taken the UC systemwide Subject A Examination and who have not met the Subject A requirement in one of the other ways listed above will be required to take the examination during their first quarter at UCSB (see the Schedule of Classes for examination time and location). An appropriate score on the examination will satisfy the Subject A requirement. Only one UC examination may be taken-either the systemwide Subject A Examination while in high school or the examination given at UCSB; and neither may be repeated.

Students who enter UCSB without having fulfilled the university's Subject A requirement and (if they have not previously taken the systemwide Subject A Examination) who do not achieve an appropriate score on the examination given on campus must enroll in Writing 1 or 1LK within their first year at UCSB. A grade of C or higher in Writing 1 or 1LK is needed to satisfy the Subject A requirement. Students who earn a grade of C- or lower in Writing 1 or 1LK will be required to repeat the course in successive quarters until the requirement is satisfied.

Once students matriculate at UCSB, they may not fulfill the requirement by enrolling at another institution. Transfer courses equivalent to Writing 2 or 50 will not be accepted for unit or subject credit unless the Subject A requirement has been met. Students will only be allowed to meet the Area A requirement of the General Education Requirements with courses taken after satisfying the Subject A requirement. The Subject A requirement must be completed by the end of the third quarter of matriculation.

American History and Institutions Requirement

The American History and Institutions requirement is based on the principle that American students enrolled at an American university should have some knowledge of the history and government of their country. You may meet this requirement in any one of the following ways:

1. by achieving a score of 3 or higher on the College Board Advanced Placement Examination in American History or American Government and Politics; or

2. by passing a non-credit examination in American history or American institutions, offered in the Department of History during the first week of each quarter. Consult the department for further information; or

3. by achieving a score of 650 or higher on SAT II: Subject Test in American History (formerly the College Board Achievement Test in American History); or

4. by completing one four-unit course from the following list of courses:

Note: In this context , "course" refers to a one-quarter offering such as History 17A or Religious Studies 151B. Anthropology 131 Art History 121A-B-C, 161A-B Asian American Studies 1, 2 Black Studies 1, 6, 60A-B, 103, 121, 137E, 169AR-BR Chicano Studies 1A-B-C, 144, 168A-B, 174, 188A-B-C Dramatic Art 155A-B Economics 113A-B, 119 English 133AA-ZZ, 134AA-ZZ, 135, 136A-B-C, 137A-B, 138A-B-C, 191 German 147 History 11, 17A-B-C, 78, 105, 159A-B-C, 160A-B, 161A-B, 164C, 165, 166A-B, 166LA-LB, 167A-B-C-D, 168A-B, 169AR-BR-M, 171A-B, 172A-B, 173A-B-S-T, 175A-B, 176A-B, 177, 178A-B-M, 179 Law and Society 100 Military Science 1A, 1C, 7, 8, 11
Note: Military Science courses are two units each. Two acceptable Military Science courses will fulfill the American History and Institutions requirement. Philosophy 119 Political Science 12, 100, 113, 115, 127, 151, 152, 153, 155, 157, 158, 161, 162, 165, 166, 167, 168, 174, 176, 180, 185 Religious Studies 7, 14, 61A-B, 114B-C, 151A-B, 152, 153, 154A Sociology 137E, 140, 144, 155A, 157 Women's Studies 159A-B-C, 155A

Courses used to fulfill the American History and Institutions requirement may also be applied to General Education or major requirements, or both where appropriate. Equivalent courses taken at other accredited colleges or universities, in UC Extension, or in summer session may be acceptable. Students who transfer to UCSB from another campus of the University of California where the American History and Institutions Requirement has been considered satisfied will automatically fulfill the requirement at UCSB.

International students on a nonimmigrant visa may petition for a waiver of this requirement through the Dean of International Students and Scholars.

Unit Requirement

A minimum of 180 quarter units is required for graduation. (Some students in the College of Letters and Science will need at least 184 units to graduate; see General Education Requirements, Area B-Foreign Language for details.) These units must be distributed according to the requirements set forth by the faculty of the various colleges, as explained in the following sections of this catalog and in the publications of the colleges.

The acceptability of transfer courses for unit credit is determined by the Office of Admissions. The applicability of such courses toward specific requirements is determined by the college provost or deans and/or department chairs.

Academic Residence Requirement

Candidates for a bachelor's degree must be registered in the university for at least three terms to fulfill the university's academic residence requirement. A term is a regular quarter in which a student completes six or more units of resident (on-campus) courses. Each UC summer session in which at least 2 units are completed is the equivalent of half a term's residence.

At least 35 of the final 45 units must be taken in the college or school in which the degree is to be awarded. No more than 18 of the final 35 units may be completed in summer session courses at UCSB. Courses taken in UC Extension do not satisfy residency requirements.

College of Letters and Science residence requirement. Students in the College of Letters and Science must complete at least 27 upper-division units, of which at least 18 must be in the upper-division major, while in residence in the college. In the case of double majors, at least 18 upper-division units must be completed in each major while in residence in the College of Letters and Science. Courses taken in University Extension and those completed in the university's Education Abroad Program do not apply to the residence requirement.

Education Abroad Program participants. With one modification, students who participate in the University of California Education Abroad program are responsible for all academic residence requirements as explained above. For students who participate in EAP as seniors, the rule requiring 35 of the final 45 units in the college or school in which the degree is to be awarded is modified to 35 of the final 90 units. Students must secure prior approval to use this modification and may graduate without returning to UCSB provided that they have satisfied all degree requirements by the end of their year abroad. Those who have any remaining degree requirements must return to UCSB to complete a minimum of 12 units on campus while fulfilling final degree requirements.

Grade-Point Average Requirement

At the time of graduation, students in the College of Engineering and the College of Letters and Science must have at least a 2.0 (C) grade-point average in (1) all courses undertaken at the University of California (UC) except those graded passed/not passed; (2) all UC courses required and acceptable for the student's overall major program, both lower- and upper-division; and (3) all UC courses required and acceptable for the student's upper-division major program.

Courses undertaken at any of the UC campuses, with the exception of UC Extension courses, are included in the computation of the grade-point average.

Courses appropriate for satisfying major requirements must be used in the computation of the grade-point average even if they are in excess of the minimum requirements of the major program. Courses graded Incomplete, except those taken on a passed/not passed basis, will be included as F grades in final computations. Certain courses designated as remedial are offered for workload credit only and do not figure in calculation of the grade-point average.

Students in the College of Creative Studies must, at the time of graduation, have a grade-point average of at least 2.0 (C) in all UC courses that have been undertaken for letter grades.

Major Requirements

To be eligible for graduation, all undergraduates must complete the requirements for a departmental or interdepartmental major in their college with the required grade-point average. As space permits, students may elect any approved major program for which they have met the stated prerequisites.

Major departments and/or committees may require auditions, placement examinations, proposals, specified courses, and/or grade-point averages to determine whether students are qualified for specific courses or for entrance into or continuation in a major.

Students who fail to attain a grade-point average of at least 2.0 in work in their major may, at the option of the major department or committee, be denied the privilege of continuing in that major.

Students in the College of Engineering and the College of Letters and Science normally must complete the major requirements in effect at the time they declare their major, though they may petition to follow a subsequent set of requirements.

Changes in major requirements that increase the number or distribution of courses required normally will not be applied to students continuing in such majors.
