Rausser College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley

When it comes to the world we live in, no detail is too small to be noticed and connected to something bigger. At UC Berkeley’s Rausser College of Natural Resources, we study natural and human systems from biological, ecological, economic, and social science perspectives. And we do this with intention—studying how all aspects of our environment intersect and support each other so we can do more in the world, and do it wisely.

The challenges facing our natural and human environment are immense and it is imperative that they are addressed through inclusive, rigorous, and translational solutions. No college in the world is better equipped to take on these challenges than Rausser College of Natural Resources. We create solutions that protect Earth’s natural resources, ensure economic and ecological sustainability, and improve human health.

The College is a national and global academic leader in natural and social sciences aligned with natural resource management, international development, energy, environment, plant and microbial biology, and nutritional sciences and metabolic biology.
