Biological Sciences Breadth

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I was wondering about whether a seminar class (like MCB 90B) would cover the Biological Science Breadth for L&S. Also, is there an advantage or disadvantage to taking a class like this for the breadth?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>As far as I know this would not cover it, since seminars are pass/no pass and are not really a class.</p>

<p>Consider some lower division MCB courses like 61, which is drugs and the Brain, or MCB 32, which is physiology for non-biology majors.</p>

<p>Pass/No Pass classes can satisfy breadth requirements, correct? But yeah I guess as it is not a true class, it may not qualify for the breadth. Thanks!</p>

<p>General L&S breadth rules are here: <a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/7breadth.html”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/7breadth.html&lt;/a&gt; . You may take such courses P/NP.</p>

<p>@ucbalumnus‌ While the Biological Sciences breadth requirement page says any MCB except 168, I was wondering if seminars count in that category, to be safe. Do they fall under that category despite not being a class, per se?</p>

<p>MCB 90B does not qualify because it is a 1 unit course; L&S breadth courses must be at least 2 units (3 units starting fall 2015), according to the general L&S breadth rules.</p>
