Visiting Scholars

Finding a Faculty Sponsor

All visiting scholars need to have a faculty sponsor who will serve as a point of contact with the department. Please look at the faculty webpages to find a possible sponsor. Please do not contact the department chair or staff about helping to find a sponsor.

Funding a Visit

The Dept. of Education does not provide funding for visiting scholars. Visitors must have their own sources of funding established prior to their visit.

Office of International Students & Scholars

The Office of International Students and Scholars assists visitors in all matters related to visas while at UCSB. The OISS offers a range of programs designed to make the life of international scholars and their family members at UCSB and in the Santa Barbara community academically productive and culturally enriching.
