What's the difference between a major and a department?
At Berkeley, an undergraduate major is the area of study in which you get your degree. Your particular major may require courses offered by several different departments within CNR or across UC Berkeley. You will want to get to know your major advisor, who is very familiar with the requirements you will need to meet to earn your degree and will help you navigate through your undergraduate career.
Departments are the administrative units that sponsor majors, schedule courses, and process paperwork.
