The Rausser College Student Experience

With smaller classes and majors than many other colleges, and a geographical compound located on the northwest of campus, Rausser College offers a small college experience at the big University. But our students have the opportunity to take courses throughout the campus, taking advantage of the vast resources at Cal.

Rausser College students are encouraged to gain research experience in the laboratory or field by working directly with faculty. This helps them define their interests and increases their competitive edge for advanced degrees or the work force. The College's alumni and parents have contributed special funding to support undergraduate research with our faculty.
