The advanced degree programs offer graduate students unique research opportunities when combined with special resources, such as the Young Research Library, Arts Library special collections, and UCLA exhibit venues.
Fellowships, grants, and assistantships are available through the departments and the dean of the Division of Graduate Education.
In addition to requiring that applicants hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited U.S. institution or an equivalent degree of professional title from an international institution, each department in the school has limitations and additional requirements. In general, samples of creative work (auditions, portfolios, computer programs, etc.) are required. Detailed information is available on individual department websites and in program requirements for UCLA graduate degrees.
