The Division of Undergraduate Education includes thirteen reporting units which offer programs and services that support Berkeley students, faculty, and staff in teaching, learning, and discovery. The head of each unit reports into the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education.
Advising Strategy + Training
Advising Strategy + Training (AS+T) empowers the people and organizational development of UC Berkeley's advising and student services community in service of their quest to provide compassionate, human-centered, equity-minded support to students. We do this through the stewardship of information, facilitation of growth, cultivation of partnerships, and commitment to community.
American Cultures Center
The American Cultures (AC) Center is committed to fostering academic excellence and civic engagement of issues critical to America's dynamic ethnic, racial and sociocultural landscape. After nearly thirty-years, and the development of hundreds of courses, the AC requirement has become a staple of the undergraduate experience at UC Berkeley.
Athletic Study Center
The Athletic Study Center supports student athletes in developing as independent, self-reliant and successful young adults. The Athletic Study Center is committed to the integration and engagement of student athletes into campus life, and provides holistic student development, academic support, and academic advising services to the student athlete population at UC Berkeley.
Berkeley Changemaker
Berkeley Changemaker® goes beyond a simple focus of skills or curricular skills. Its some 50 academically-rigorous undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, offered by departments across campus, have a clear and consistent focus on our core pillars of critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.
Berkeley Connect
UC Berkeley Connect is an innovative academic community-building program that connects undergraduates with graduate student mentors and with small groups of their peers, in order to increase their sense of belonging and their confidence they can succeed at UC Berkeley.
Berkeley Discovery
Berkeley Discovery recasts undergraduate education at Berkeley around equitable access to original research, art practice, and entrepreneurship. Through moving from learner to practitioner, students are empowered to launch into what’s next after graduation. By awarding grants to faculty and creating a one-stop search engine for Discovery opportunities at and beyond Berkeley, Discovery is creating equitable pathways to experiential learning for all students.
Biology Scholars Program
The Biology Scholars Program (BSP) supports the success of under-represented, first-to-college Berkeley undergraduates who will use their science to create a more fair, just, and equitable world for all.
Center for Educational Partnerships
The Center for Educational Partnerships (CEP) strengthens pathways to higher education and supports UC Berkeley’s enrollment goals. Through direct student and family support, cross-sector partnerships, educator capacity building, and systems-level collaboration, CEP works with K–12 and community college students across California to increase academic readiness, college access, transfer success, and opportunity. Each year, CEP serves more than 50,000 students and partners with 99 middle and high schools across 33 school districts and 109 California community colleges
Data Analysis and Assessment
The Data Analysis and Assessment unit curates institutional data, develops student surveys, and produces comprehensive reports on teaching, learning, and the undergraduate experience at UC Berkeley. The team works closely with the Office of Planning & Analysis, Student Affairs, Equity & Inclusion, Graduate Division, and other campus partners to generate key insights that assist leadership in strategic decision-making and the continuous improvement of academic initiatives.
Office of the Registrar
The Office of the Registrar (OR) serves as the central engine of UC Berkeley’s academic infrastructure, supporting students, faculty, staff, and alumni at every milestone from matriculation through graduation, and beyond. Each year, OR serves more than 45,000 students, along with campus faculty, staff, and alumni. Integrating policy, operational systems, and technology, the office transforms complex academic requirements and curricula into clear, navigable processes. In partnership with campus colleagues and executive leadership, OR stewards academic records, ensures institutional compliance, optimizes resources, and leverages higher education best practices to drive operational excellence across the institution–improving student outcomes and supporting institutional success.Within the Division of Undergraduate Education, the Office of the Registrar is part of Enrollment Management, which includes the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the Center for Educational Partnerships, and the Enrollment Management Immediate Office.
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions identifies prospective first-year and transfer students through data-informed outreach efforts, evaluates and selects one of the largest applicant pools in the country, and yields admitted students with a series of strategic and high-touch events and programming.
Research, Teaching, and Learning Commons
Research, Teaching, and Learning Commons (RTL) partners with the campus to inspire, enrich, and innovate Berkeley’s collective practice and pursuit of teaching and research excellence. RTL is composed of several teams, including the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and KALX. With leadership in their area of expertise, teams coordinate around consultations, resources, tools, and projects across RTL for the broader campus community.
