Explore the Rausser College Campus

Rausser College of Natural Resources is located in six buildings on the northwest end of the Berkeley campus, including the historic group of Hilgard, Wellman, and Giannini halls (under construction until Fall 2020), which formed part of the original UC Berkeley campus's College of Agriculture. But our students take classes across the campus as they fulfill diverse requirements for their degrees.
