Can I find the count of students with multiple majors on campus, as well as their combination of majors?

Yes, the Multiple Majors dashboardincludes tabs that report on the count and percentage of registered undergraduates with multiple majors for the UC Berkeley campus as a whole as well as for each undergraduate major program.

You can learn more on the Cal Answers Student Demographics and Outcomes Multiple Majors section on our website and also from our Multiple Majors Dashboard Wiki report documentation.

Where can I find international student counts within the Student Data dashboards?

Within the Undergraduate Applicants and Student Demographic & Outcomes subject areas, you can find International Student counts by filtering for 4-Value Ethnicity (or any of the ethnicity fields), not Residency Status.

Can I find out the demographics (gender, ethnicity, residency status, etc.) of the students taking my courses?

Cal Answers global dashboards do not have student demographics information by course. You can pull demographic details by registered students within a Major from the Student Demographics & Outcomes -> Census -> Census by Multiple Fields report.

Which student data dashboards and reports include graduate student data?

Most of the student dashboards include graduate student data. However, these dashboards in the Student Demographics & Outcomes subject area do not show graduate student data:

Does the Summer term lead or trail in the academic calendar?

The Summer term leads in the UC Berkeley academic calendar. For example, the 2024-25 academic year consists of Summer 2024, Fall 2024, and Spring 2025.

Note that the Financial Aid Year treats Summer as a trailing term, however. For example, the 2024-25 financial aid year consists of Fall 2024, Spring 2025, and Summer 2025.
