Notes
1Chemistry 4A is intended for students majoring in chemistry or a closely related field.
2The Humanities/Social Science (H/SS) requirement includes two approved reading and composition courses and four additional approved courses, with which a number of specific conditions must be satisfied. Reading and Composition “A” and “B” must be completed by no later than the end of the sophomore year. The remaining courses may be taken at any time during the program. See engineering.berkeley.edu/hss for complete details and a list of approved courses.
3Technical electives must include two courses:
4EECS 151+151LA/LB may be used to fulfill only one requirement.
* A minimum of 120 units is required for graduation.
