The DeCal Program

The DeCal Program is an aggregate of student-facilitated for-credit academic courses at UC Berkeley. Students create and facilitate their own classes on a variety of subjects, many of which are not addressed in the traditional curriculum. Every DeCal is sponsored by a faculty member and grades are only offered as Pass / No Pass, with the academic credit for each class typically ranging from 0.5-2 units.

SERC student staff teach a variety of 1 and 2-unit environmental and sustainability-related DeCals during fall and spring semesters.

Looking to take an environmental and/or sustainability-related course? Check out this list of environmental and sustainability-related courses at UC Berkeley as provided by the Office of Sustainability and Energy or this list of Sustainability Courses and Reviews created by the ASUC Office of Sylvia Targ in the 2019-2020 academic year.
