Department of Mathematics
University of California, Santa Barbara
Graduate Programs
Welcome! This collection of documents is designed to help prospective graduate students learn about the MA and PhD programs in our
Department. It's strongly suggested that you peruse the recent NRC rankings, via the Mathematics Graduate Program Rankings at PhDs.org.
If, for example, one looks at the measure of Student Outcomes (the program
supports a high fraction of students, students graduate quickly and get
jobs), then UC Santa Barbara is the top-ranked UC campus.
The majority of this material is taken directly from the department's Graduate Student Handbook, which helps guide our graduate students throughout the various
stages of their programs. These documents include general information, suggested preparation, an outline of each program offered, faculty information, and lists of course
offerings. Students interested in graduate programs in Mathematics should direct their applications and questions to the following address:
