Our Degrees

How does the universe work? The study of physics attempts to answer this question by examining the smallest subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, stars and galaxies.

Are you curious about studying how life works at a molecular level? Are you interested in solving biological problems using quantitative molecular-based techniques?

Are you fascinated by how the cell operates in living organisms? Are you curious how the adult cell functions?

How is the twitch of a muscle fiber related to the silent explosion of a supernova? Every happening in the universe is linked at an atomic level by the principles of chemistry.

Civil engineers design the infrastructure that allows society to function: roads, bay-spanning bridges, earthquake-safe buildings, drinking water treatment systems, reservoir systems.

How can you take a holistic look at computing, from the top down? Computer science is the answer.

The Data in Society minor provides students with skills to work with and think critically about data in a variety of academic, administrative, and industrial domains.

UC Davis offers the University of California’s only comprehensive Department of Design in which students engage in multiple areas of design practice, rather than pursuing a single path. Why?

The Interdisciplinary Energy Studies Graduate Group offers M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs focused on energy technologies and policy, planning, systems analysis, management, and design.

There is an urgent need to develop and commercialize technologies for the sustainable conversion and use of energy.
