The Chancellor, as the chief executive officer for the Berkeley campus, is responsible for campus organization and operation, including academic, student, staff, and business affairs. The Chancellor is assisted by various administrative officers: an executive vice chancellor and provost, vice chancellors, vice provosts, deans, department chairs, and directors of research and administrative units.

UC Berkeley is organized into schools and colleges that are further divided into departments or divisions; some departments are constituted into disciplinary divisions. Administrative, fiscal, and policy responsibility for a school or college is assigned to its dean.

Within a school or college, the academic leader and administrative head of a department is the department chair. Chairs are appointed from the faculty ranks by the Chancellor, to whom they are responsible through the dean and the executive vice chancellor and provost.

Organizational charts describing the administrative structure of the campus are available on the web. This page also identifies the administrative and academic officers of the campus. Deans are listed on the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost’s website and in the front pages of the Campus Telephone Directory.
