7-Breadth Requirement - UC Berkeley

<p>For Berkeley economics, admitted transfer students are expected to take at least one of Economics 100A, 100B, 101A, or 101B in the first semester, along with a math or statistics course (at least one of which must be taken at Berkeley – this is usually a statistics course, since most CCs do not have a statistics course with a calculus prerequisite).</p>

<p>As upper division courses, Economics 100A, 100B, 101A, and 101B are not likely to found as articulated courses at community colleges.</p>

<p>Economics 101A and 101B are the more math-oriented versions intended for those considering going on to a PhD program in economics. Such students should also take multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations (these are available at CCs; check the articulation for math or statistics majors) as well as some more advanced math and statistics courses as described below:</p>

<p>Since the economics major is in L&S, you need either the 7-course breadth requirement or IGETC.</p>
