It is currently estimated that the total expenses for a single international student
for each 12-month period will range from $37,000 to $43,000 excluding dependents.
Married students should bring an additional $4,000 if accompanied by a spouse and
$2,000 for each additional child. Student employment is limited. The current cost

After your admission to UCSB, the Office of International Students and Scholars
will need documented evidence of your ability to pay all required fees and expenses
for the first twelve months of your program in order to issue the required immigration
forms needed to obtain your visa from an American embassy or consulate. The UCSB
fees and expenses are subject to change. You should also indicate sources and amounts
of financial support for the duration of your entire program. American embassies
and consulates will require the same type of funding evidence for visa issuance.
Limited funds are available for work-study opportunities for international students.
