Professional School Preparation

UC Santa Barbara has an excellent reputation for preparing its students for various professional school programs. Each year, many UCSB graduates continue their education in medical, law, business, and a variety of other professional schools. Most of these graduate professional programs do not require completion of a specific undergraduate major. Instead, students may complete the major of their choice while fulfilling any specific course prerequisites required for admission to the programs of interest to them. Advisors for each of these professional programs are available either in the Office of Student Academic Affairs in the College of Letters and Science or in departmental offices. Counseling and Career Services also maintains a wealth of information relevant to these career fields.
