Researching Programs

Approximately 40% of UCSB students go on to do graduate work. Here are some online resources:

CollegeSource® Online
More than 10,700 College Catalogs in complete cover-to-cover original page format including 2-year, 4-year, graduate, and professional schools. We are amazed by this resource. It only works if you are using a computer on the UCSB campus.

GradSchools.com
GradSchools.com is the leading online resource for graduate school information with over 58,000 programs listed on our site. The site contains a unique and comprehensive directory categorized by curriculum and subdivided by geography. Users simply select their desired curriculum to receive thorough information about those particular graduate programs.

Peterson's Online Graduate Services
Welcome to the most comprehensive and heavily traveled education resource on the Internet.

University Directory 101
U101 has rounded up links to almost 4000 college and university web sites in the United States and Canada. The links usually go to the school's home page. From there you can find information on admissions, courses, degree programs, online education and more.

Printed Resources (Available in the Career Resource Room)

Continue The Journey
This is a free booklet published by the Office of the President of the University of California. It contains information about admissions requirements, opportunities for financial support, summer research programs, and graduate degree programs at each UC campus. While this booklet targets women and underrepresented minorities in particular, it would be useful to all students considering graduate study at the UC.
