How to Apply

Admission to the EES emphasis is open only to current PhD students in the Department of Economics and the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management. Thus if you are interested in EES, you must first gain admission to one of these departments/schools, both of which are highly competitive. Once enrolled as a PhD student, there are generally no difficulties in being admitted into the EES emphasis.

To be considered for admission into the EES emphasis, UCSB students must complete an application form. It can be downloaded here and is also available from the EES coordinator.

Contacts

If you have questions about the application process or any other aspect of the EES emphasis, please contact the graduate advisor in the department in which you are matriculated or the EES coordinator:

• Bren School graduate advisor

• Economics Department graduate advisor

• EES Coordinator

Financial Support

Financial aid for graduate students is typically provided by a student's department, the university, or outside sources, and students arrange such aid themselves.  

The EES emphasis does NOT have funds to provide financial aid.
