Tuition and fees for attending the graduate program in Germanic, Slavic, and Semitic Studies are determined by the UCSB Graduate Division. An up-to-date schedule of tuition rates and fees for both Residents and Non-Residents of California is available on their site. Please see the Registrar's current fee schedule.

Although living costs vary widely according to taste and lifestyle, Graduate Division offers as a guideline this estimate for a single graduate student living in Santa Barbara for 9 months.
