The International and Executive Programs embodies the core mission of UC Berkeley’s Rausser College of Natural Resources: “See a bigger picture. Make a better world.”

We are at the crossroads of technological innovation and ecological conservation. Backed by UC Berkeley’s award-winning faculty and industry experts, we engage with the far-reaching issues facing the world in the 21st century and empower the professionals who come to our programs with the multidisciplinary toolkit to solve them.

Our impact

UC Berkeley is not just the #1 public university in the world — UC Berkeley’s Rausser College of Natural Resources is the premier global university for environment and ecology programs. 

With four Nobel Prize laureates, seven MacArthur fellows, and 40 Fulbright scholars in the Rausser College of Natural Resources faculty, the professors, researchers and experts who bring their extensive skillset to our programs deliver substantive solutions both within the classroom and throughout the world at large.

From Napa to Silicon Valley

UC Berkeley’s centralized location within the Bay Area means that we are not bound to the classroom. The industry professionals who come to the International and Executive Programs leave with comprehensive, hands-on experience thanks to engagements with UC Davis and the University of California Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

Plus, with engagements beyond the Rausser College of Natural Resources, including the Haas School of Business, the School of Public Health and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, our programs come with the full backing of UC Berkeley’s academic excellence.
