Diversity Resources

DIVERSITY RESOURCES

UC Santa Barbara is deeply committed to recruiting and supporting a diverse graduate student body and to developing scholarship, leadership, and professionalism of graduate students from all backgrounds. The campus recognizes that many students, especially those from segments of the population that have not traditionally been represented in the academy, may not be as familiar with the structures of graduate education and will benefit from resources that will acquaint them with academic culture and support their success and development into career professionals. These groups include underrepresented minorities, first generation college students, students who identify as LGBTQ, women who are in departments with less than 20 percent female enrollments, veterans, disabled students, or any other students from non-traditional backgrounds.
