University of California, Santa Cruz - Division of Graduate Studies

UC Santa Cruz offers graduate study in 30 academic fields. About 1,400 graduate students are enrolled at the certificate, master's, and doctoral levels.

The small size of the UCSC graduate programs encourages close working relations between students and faculty in an informal atmosphere conducive to rapid learning and professional growth. Many graduate programs have interdisciplinary components, and students are encouraged to explore the conceptual connections between related fields as they acquire mastery in their areas of specialization.
