Breadth-Requirement Question, Help Please

<p>I was looking through the courses taht fulfill breadth requirements and found that some of the African American Studies courses fulfill like 3 of the Breadth Requirements. Does it mean that if I take 4A, I will be done with my Historical, Arts and Lit, and Philosophy and Values requirements? That would be really quick, if I could do that. I want to get done with my breadths and if you can do that, please let me know. Thanks.</p>

<p>no it wont i thought that too at first but in reality it fills a, b, OR c, not all three. look here this links got all the details on the classes</p>

<p>Ok, but that's for FPF. I doubt there's any difference in requirements for regular and FPF students, but still can someone confirm this?</p>

<p>I'm a regular student, and yllwjep is correct. The only time you can use a course to satisfy two req's is if you cover a breadth area and the AC req at the same time. Also, you can't use your major prerequisites to satisfy breadth. EG if you're an econ major you can't use econ 1 to satisfy social and behavioral studies. It's Berkeley's way of making you stay an extra year. Count on 7 completely unrelated classes. Joy.</p>

<p>ouch so if youre a bio major you have to take another class that fulfills the bio sci req but not one that you would need to advance in the major?</p>

<p>about breadth reqs.... can you satisfy those while studying abroad? (i know you can't take them at your local community college.)</p>

<p>Yeah, I think the bio scenario works the same way. You can still use MCB to satisfy the bio requirement, it just can't be bio 1a/1b/etc. Like, you can take MCB 64 because it's not a bio major prereq.</p>

<p>Yes, you can satisfy breadth reqs while studying abroad. That would most likely be international/historical/social studies. Unless you're going to study engineering in Japan. You'd have a completely different set of reqs then.</p>

<p>not to be mean or anything, but please know what you're talking about before you open your mouth...</p>

<p>you caused a tremendous amount of fear for a lotta impressionable berkeley freshies with your INCORRECT remarks... (including myself!!!)</p>

<p>breathe easier kids, you CANNNN use your major requirements for breadth courses :-)</p>

<p>Hey slimlic, you're not talking to me, are you?</p>

<p>Yes you can use your breath reqs to fulfill major reqs. For example, rhetoric 20 fulfills major req for Rhetoric as well as the breath for Arts and Lit requirement. Poli Sci 2 fulfills Poli Sci major req as well as Social Behaviorial breath. And Philos 12A fulfills Philosoph major req as well as philosophy and values breath.</p>

<p>But you cannot take more than 2 classes from the same dept to fulfill breath. For example, I can't use Poli Sci 1 for Social Behavorial, Poli Sci 2 for International, and Poli Sci 39A (which was a frosh/soph seminar that fulfilled philosophy and values) to fulfill my philisophy and values requirement. You can only take at most 2 courses within a dept to fulfill breath requirements.</p>

<p>And only 1 class per breath requirement. 1 class cannot be used to satisfy more than 1 breath requirement.</p>

<p>hahha, no lyrical im not</p>
