The student experience in the Division of Arts & Humanities at UC Berkeley is defined by unparalleled access to world-class faculty, one-on-one mentorship, and transformative learning opportunities.
As one of the top public universities in the world, we offer instruction in over 60 languages—more than any other public university—creating intimate class settings where students engage in meaningful discussions, hands-on research, and collaborative exploration. Guided by renowned scholars, artists, and thought leaders, students tackle global perspectives and complex challenges, whether through studying Persian law, analyzing the moral philosophy of equality, or presenting research on sustainability at international conferences like COP28. This environment not only sharpens their critical thinking and communication skills but also prepares them to thrive as global citizens, ready to shape a rapidly evolving world. At Berkeley, arts and humanities students don’t just learn about the world—they actively engage with it and its future.
