With over 13,000 undergraduate classes, laboratories, and sections to choose from (taught annually), you can have a rich and personalized educational experience while still graduating in four years.

UC Berkeley is also the only university in the country with a (nearly) half-century history of student-run democratic education, known as De-Cal, a curriculum that allows students to design and teach their own classes. Research is another excellent feature of a Berkeley undergraduate education. It is the only university in the country that allows undergraduates to perform cutting-edge research as early as their freshman year, regardless of their major. Many College-specific initiatives, the Big Ideas Initiative, and the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program are examples of research opportunities for undergraduates.
