About Undergraduate Education

Our office provides campuswide leadership for the delivery of undergraduate education and the enhancement of educational effectiveness and academic success. We act as liaison on academic issues pertinent to undergraduate education with each of the colleges and other campus entities, including the Academic Senate, as well as to external units and agencies including the UC Office of the President, other universities, and relevant accreditation agencies.

We are dedicated to ensuring that UC Davis undergraduates fully participate in the dynamic intellectual life of our research university. In addition to serving as campus advocates for undergraduates, we offer programs to enhance the learning experiences available at UC Davis.  We encourage students to explore our programs and take a first step towards an internship in Washington D.C., a hands-on original research partnership with a renowned scholar, or learning and practicing skills for twenty-first-century leadership.

For faculty and instructors, our Center for Educational Effectiveness offers expert advice on teaching large and small classes; workshops and resources on incorporating technological tools to enhance instructional creativity and collaboration; and offers analytic tools and approaches to inform instruction and maximize student success. Our assessment experts help faculty approach student learning with the rigor of research methodology.  

Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

The Office of Undergraduate Education commits itself to diverse, equitable and inclusive practices to promote student success and to support our staff. Diversity benefits and enriches the development of students, staff and faculty.
Our office is committed to fostering diversity, belonging and equitable outcomes for students, staff, faculty and the communities we serve. We are dedicated to supporting underrepresented students and ensuring that each individual feels valued and included. We believe our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI, will drive us toward our vision of transforming education and empowering learners, together.
