UC Berkeley will host a Campus-wide Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, May 11, 2024, at 10AM in the Memorial Stadium.
- Students in our major and their families may participate in either the Cognitive Science Department ceremony, the campus-wide UC Berkeley ceremony, or both ceremonies, as they prefer. For more information about the campus-wide Commencement Ceremony, go to this link.
- What is the difference between the CogSci Departmental Commencement and the UC Berkeley Commencement?
- The CogSci Departmental Commencement will be a smaller, more intimate ceremony with graduates from CogSci only It will be held at the Zellerbach Hall and will feature a student speaker from the major and the presentation of departmental awards. The names of the graduating students will be called out during the Departmental Commencement exercise as they walk across the stage to receive their certificates.
- The UC Berkeley Commencement ceremony will be for graduates from all the majors on the campus and it will be held at the Memorial Stadium. It will feature the Chancellor and other campus dignitaries, a special keynote address, and the student speaker. The UC Berkeley marching band usually performs at the festivities. Graduating student names are not called during the campus-wide Commencement Ceremony.
