About University of California Berkeley

Out there. On the edge. Idealistic. That’s Berkeley: on the rim of the continent, we’ve always looked toward the future, the unknown, the not-yet possible — and made it possible. “The future happens here first,” we like to say.

At Berkeley, we’ve always been environmentalists, learning to build with nature. We’ve always valued inclusion, welcoming students from all over the globe. We’ve always been focused on how the built environment can improve the lives of everyday people and marginalized communities. We’ve always been a place where each person can — and will — follow their own passions and own ideas, especially when others are skeptical.

We invite the next generation of designers, planners, scientists, and thinkers to join us in this forward-looking endeavor. We aim to empower  you to build better environmental futures, inspire and lead your  professions, and serve your communities through practice and public  service.
