We provide services and help to coordinate resources for all military-related students at UCSB, including active/reserve and National Guard members, as well as spouses and dependents. 

UCSB'S Commitment to Military-related Student

"UC Santa Barbara is honored to serve veterans, service members, and their families. We are committed to creating and maintaining services and programs for our military-related students that stimulate independent thought, critical reasoning, and creativity. As a leading research institution, UC Santa Barbara aspires to be a model for understanding the military experience, as well as providing opportunities for scholarship, leadership, and service to those 'who have borne the battle' and those who support them at home."
