UC Berkeley remains a powerhouse for prestigious graduate programs.

More than 50 Berkeley programs are in the top 25 in their fields, according to the 2026 Best Graduate Schools rankings from U.S. News & World Report. Spanning from public health to education, more than 40 of those 50 Berkeley programs earned a spot in the top 10 of their fields.

These rankings evaluate thousands of programs and disciplines from hundreds of universities around the country.

Note: U.S. News last year ranked several Berkeley disciplines No. 1 in the Division of Social Sciences, as well as English in the Division of Arts & Humanities. It did not update those rankings this year, nor does it rank all programs every year. Though UC Berkeley Law does not actively participate in the U.S. News rankings process, several of its programs still scored highly.

ICYMI, last week, professor emeritus John Clarke shared the Nobel Prize in physics with John Martinis and Michel Devoret, who worked alongside Clarke researching quantum tunneling while at Cal.

And for chemistry, Professor Omar Yaghi was recognized for his work in developing metal-organic frameworks. Yaghi’s win brings UC Berkeley’s count to a total of 28 faculty members who have won a Nobel Prize.

These researchers are among the five affiliated with the @uofcalifornia that were awarded Nobel Prizes this year. This is a record-breaking achievement, and four of those five researchers have UC Berkeley ties.

These awards demonstrate how UC researchers are leading the way in advancing society through scientific inquiry and exploration. When we #SpeakUp4Science, we speak up for world-changing breakthroughs.

You know together we’re glowing. Gonna be, gonna be goldеn. ✨🐻

UC Berkeley is the #1 public university in the country, according to recent 2026 U.S. News & World Report rankings.

This is the 16th time over the past two decades that Berkeley has claimed the top spot in the annual @usnews Best Colleges rankings. Berkeley has consistently been one of the highest-ranked public schools nationally since the magazine’s rankings began in 1983.

Berkeley is routinely recognized as the nation’s top public university, most recently in @forbes’ rankings of America’s Top Colleges and U.S. News’ Best Global Universities rankings. It also earned the distinction as the leading public university in North America in the @topunis University Rankings 2026 and topped the @pitchbookdata university rankings earlier this month for generating more startups founded by undergraduate alumni than any other university worldwide.

Can we ‘reprogram’ our gut bacteria to fight off disease?

Every one of us has a unique microbiome that contributes to our health. Good bacteria are essential to the proper functioning of our digestive tract and immune system and act as a first-line defense against bad bacteria.

Carlotta Ronda, a principal investigator at UC Berkeley’s Innovative Genomics Institute, is using CRISPR gene editing to tweak bacteria to improve our health (think probiotics) and help us fight infections.

The techniques Ronda and her IGI colleagues are developing will eventually transform microbiome editing into a new therapy for many disorders.

“Action is my coping mechanism.”

It’s not a slogan. It’s a deep personal truth. While earning her doctorate at UC Berkeley, Wendy Marie Ingram (PhD ’15, Molecular and Cell Biology) began noticing cracks in the system around her: peers struggling silently, even mentors burning out.

Then came the loss that changed everything.

After a fellow graduate student died by suicide, Wendy attended a departmental candlelight vigil — an evening that became a turning point. Surrounded by grieving peers, she realized how many were carrying the same fear, confusion and unanswered questions. That day, she understood that waiting for change wasn’t an option.

What began as small, vulnerable conversations inside her department eventually grew into Dragonfly Mental Health, a global nonprofit she co-founded to transform how academic communities care for their people.

Grounded in research and lived experience, Wendy built a framework rooted in peer connection, leadership training and cultural change. As she puts it: “Healthy labs do better science. Healthy classrooms do better teaching. Healthy advising produces better careers.”

@dragonfly_mh strengthens mental health in academia through evidence-based workshops, leadership training and practical tools that help communities notice, speak up, connect and respond when it matters. Their goal: building sustainable well-being into the fabric of academic life.

Looking ahead, she’s clear about what to focus on: “Stay disciplined about what works. Train people well. Lift peers to the next level. Embed best practices inside departments. Resource the work early and adequately.”

She wants institutions to treat mental health “as part of the work rather than an add on,” and to create pathways that don’t require “heroic silence.” As she puts it: “It’s no longer ‘someone should do something.’ It’s ‘I have to do something. Who’s with me?’”

“There was this Chinese film series I watched when I was younger. It was called Tiny Times. I was captivated by the characters, who always took risks and had adventures. They were such good companions; just seeing them interact on the screen felt like I was interacting with them. I thought, “That would be a great feeling to give to other people.”

My family moved around a lot between Shanghai and California for my parents’ work. I moved to the U.S. — first to Los Angeles, then to Palo Alto — with my dad and stepmom in sixth grade. Classmates would tell me, “Kelly, you speak with an accent.” I developed a lot of anxiety around speaking English in front of people. 

When I feel a lot of fear towards something, I always gravitate towards it. So I decided to take an intro to drama class. It was really fun, but I was still terrified.

Nothing in the world challenges me like acting does.

When I got to UC Berkeley, I was planning on majoring in English and was like, “Oh, I’ll just take an acting class and see what happens.” 

During my first semester, I was helping a friend with a short film, and my anxiety got so bad that my speech became really rapid. I was so embarrassed. I went to my acting instructor crying because I was so upset, and he said, “We can help you. Take this class on voice and speech.” 

That class helped me feel more comfortable with performing. I learned a lot about breath work and how to use techniques to release my natural voice and stay connected to my body. 

In the summer after my first year, I co-founded Untitled Theater Company with a classmate. It’s a student-run acting group that uses minimal design and focuses on really good acting. We put on a new show every semester in Berkeley, wrapping this semester with a contemporary adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s 1896 play The Seagull.

When people ask me what my plans are after graduation, I don’t have an answer. I don’t really plan my life like that; I never buy a plane ticket more than a day in advance. I’m just excited to see what will happen next.” — Kelly Mou, B.A. Theater and Performance Studies ’26

Congratulations to UC Berkeley Haas graduate Fernando Mendoza!!! 🎓

Due to a work conflict 🏈, @raiders quarterback @fernandomendoza couldn’t make it to UC Berkeley Haas undergraduate commencement on Wednesday. So Dean Jenny Chatman welcomed him Saturday as a special guest at our MBA Commencement.

Mendoza completed the challenging Haas business administration and management program in just three years while quarterbacking for @cal_football (Go Bears! 🐻). He transferred to @iubloomington as a graduate student and finished his final Haas courses last summer, but he didn't get to walk at commencement because he was busy leading the @iuhoosiers to an undefeated national championship season (Go Hoosiers!). That earned him the Heisman Trophy 🏆 and made him #1 NFL draft pick. He started offseason training with the Las Vegas Raiders this month.

Before Saturday's ceremony, Mendoza got to catch up with his former professors, @alanross2019, who taught Business Law and Business Ethics, and Dan Himelstein, who taught Business Communications. Mendoza has also maintained close ties with his finance professor Steve Etter.

Congratulations to Mendoza and to all our grads! May your education from the #1 public university take you as far as your wildest dreams! 💙💛🎉

President James B. Milliken attended his first UC commencement exercises last weekend, delivering remarks at UC Berkeley’s California Memorial Stadium to the undergraduate #Classof2026 🎓 💙 💛

“In addition to celebrating the Class of 2026, I had the chance to spend time with other extraordinary people, including alumnus Manu Meel, and graduate Charles Long. Charles and Manu came to Berkeley by very different paths, but their stories point to a shared truth: A great public university does more than confer degrees; it helps people make sense of their experience and equips them to be citizens and leaders.”

Disaster Lab? Yup, that's a thing! Kaavya Kochar is teaching us all about it this weekend on Mission Unstoppable.

“Whatever you do with the opportunity Berkeley has placed in your hands, let it be great. Not because it makes you important, but because it makes life better for someone else. Let your work build doors where someone else only saw walls.”

2026 University Medalist Charles Edward Long Jr. ‘26 shares his Berkeley story during his Commencement address to his fellow graduates, and inspires them as they all step into their next chapters.
