At the UC Berkeley Rausser College of Natural Resources, students enjoy a small-college experience at the world’s greatest public university. Rausser’s undergraduate majors and minors, sponsored by four academic departments and one research group, are multidisciplinary programs that encompass the natural and social sciences, with a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and flexible, integrative approaches.
"One of the best parts about being in the College is that there’s no ivory tower here. We do basic research in labs and in the field, but it’s directed to real-world problems."
— Vincent Resh, Professor of Environmental Science, Policy & Management
Our graduate programs, consistently placed at the top of national rankings, allow students to form partnerships with faculty working at the leading edges of their fields. Even at—especially at—the graduate level in the College, we value investigating how inter-related concepts intersect in a single area of study. Understanding the bigger picture allows us to make a positive impact on the world.
