In 1991, recognizing the need for a graduate school dedicated to the study of the environment, the Regents of the University of California established the School of Environmental Science & Management at UC Santa Barbara. [2] In 1994, Jeff Dozier became the school's first dean. In 1995, the first faculty were appointed, and in 1996 the first ...
The University of California, Santa Barbara (UC Santa Barbara or UCSB) is a public land-grant research university in Santa Barbara County, California, United States. [11] Tracing its roots back to 1891 as an independent teachers' college, UCSB joined the University of California system in 1944.
The Institute for Energy Efficiency (IEE) is a research institute of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). IEE is an interdisciplinary research institute dedicated to the development of science and technologies that increase energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and support an efficient and sustainable energy future.
The graduate program was ranked fifth (or sixth, depending on which method used) among physics program in the 2011 study by the National Research Council. [10] U.S. News & World Report ranked the graduate program tenth in the country across all subfields, third in Condensed Matter Physics, fifth in Quantum Physics, eighth in Elementary Particles/Field/String Theory, and ninth in Cosmology ...
The Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) is a research institute of the University of California, Santa Barbara dedicated to theoretical physics. KITP is one of 20 Kavli Institutes. The National Science Foundation has been the principal supporter of the institute since it was founded as the Institute for Theoretical Physics in 1979.
The curriculum for the undergraduate programs is designed to be completed in four years. The UC Santa Barbara College of Engineering maintains a highly selective admissions process. As of 2024, the College reported an overall acceptance rate of approximately 9%. [9] Acceptance rates vary among specific programs:
The UCSB Center for Spatial Studies (spatial@ucsb) is a research center at the University of California, Santa Barbara.The center was founded in 2008 by Michael Goodchild, [1] and focuses on spatial thinking across domains, spatial intelligence, geoinformatics, geographic information science, and geographic information systems.
In 1994, the NSF solicited proposals to build such a center, and the University of California, Santa Barbara was awarded $10.4 million to establish and operate the center for five years. [9] Subsequent grants were awarded to UC Santa Barbara to continue NCEAS in 2000 ($16.6 million) [10] and 2006 ($18.5 million). [11]
