In 2000 Ambassador Don L. and Mrs. Marilyn E. Gevirtz, longtime UC Santa Barbara supporters, made a $10 million commitment to support the excellence and visibility of the Graduate School of Education. To honor their generosity and dedication to promoting research and developing programs in education, the campus designated the School as The Gevirtz Graduate School of Education.

The School has its roots in the Santa Barbara State Normal School of Manual Arts and Home Economics, which was officially established in 1909. That college became a University of California campus in 1944. The School of Education was founded as a separate unit in 1961, followed by conversion to graduate-level status in 1967. In 2006, the Counseling, Clinical and School Psychology Program was recognized as a full-fledged department. The new department had been in the Department of Education in the Gevirtz Graduate School since 1970.
The Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology (CCSP) is fully accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association as a combined psychology program. The Teacher Education Program is fully accredited by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). The School also undergoes regular academic program reviews conducted by UCSB’s Office of Budget and Planning. UCSB as a whole is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
