The Division of Undergraduate Education includes nine reporting units
Our units 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 low-income, first-to-college Berkeley undergraduates who will use their science to create a more fair, just and equitable world for all.
Research, Teaching, and Learning
Research, Teaching, and Learning (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 Research IT. With leadership in their area of expertise, teams coordinate around consultations, resources, tools, and projects across RTL for the broader campus community.
Student Learning Center
The Student Learning Center (SLC) is UC Berkeley’s primary hub for undergraduate academic support, serving more than 12,000 students each year. Through programs such as tutoring, study groups, course adjuncts, academic coaching, workshops, research skills seminars, and cultural and wellness initiatives, the SLC advances a peer-based model of learning that builds agency, confidence, and connection. By centering collaboration, innovation, and academic belonging, the SLC enriches the undergraduate experience and sustains Berkeley’s distinction as one of the nation’s leading public universities.
