UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION

Pursue personalized experiential education

Choose from 25-plus majors that will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and real-world experience to lead a life of impact.

Majors offered in Oakland

Our Oakland students can choose from nine core majors, or one of 18 interdisciplinary combined majors. 
 
Our experience-powered academic programs emphasize cross-subject study with expert faculty who are industry leaders in the Bay Area and beyond.

*If you’re unsure about your path, our Interdisciplinary Studies major may be a good fit. A first-year advising support program, Discover Oakland, is built into the major. Discover Oakland embraces the spirit of the Bay Area, combining technology, business, healthcare, and science. Dedicated programming will give you insight into the other majors available in Oakland, and you’ll be able to interact with faculty and students in those programs.
