A welcome from Chancellor Lyons
Hello, and welcome to the Berkeley Academic Guide, the official catalog of UC Berkeley programs and courses.
What makes Berkeley, Berkeley? Our scope, a comprehensive excellence that fuels our ability to approach challenges and opportunities from every conceivable angle across the full range of human experience. Berkeley’s values are enshrined in our Principles of Community, which make clear our commitment to integrity, civility and mutual respect, excellence, freedom of expression, and diversity of perspective, origins, and identities. These principles provide a foundation for the coexistence of a strong, diverse, supportive campus community, free speech, and strongly held beliefs.
The programs and courses in this catalog reflect Berkeley’s commitment to offering both a breadth of experience and an abundance of perspectives in the academic space. You can use the catalog to explore possible areas of study, learn about our academic programs, navigate degree requirements, and plan your class schedule. These pages reveal the incredible magnitude, breadth, and depth that a Berkeley education offers, and will surely expand your own ideas of what you can and will accomplish here, for there is no limit.
Fiat Lux,
Rich Lyons
Chancellor
