New College Academic Reporting Hierarchy

February 6, 2024

UC Berkeley's newest college, the College of Computing, Data Science, & Society (CDSS), now appears in Cal Answers student reports, such as the Census dashboard.  CDSS consists of:

  • Computational Precision Health
  • Computational Biology (moved from the College of Engineering)
  • Data Science Undergraduate Studies (moved from the College of Letters & Science, where it was called L&S Data Science)
  • CDSS Computer Science (moved from the College of Letters & Science, where it was called L&S Computer Science)
  • Statistics (moved from the College of Letters & Science)

As is always the case when units move within the academic hierarchy, their historical data moves along with them so that trend analyses continue to work.
