<p>CS major here</p>
<p>Do you recommend taking CS for History, Biological and Physical breadth reqs? I despise Physics with a passion.</p>
<p>You are an L&S CS major looking for [L&S</a> 7 course breadth requirement](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/7breadth.html]L&S”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/7breadth.html) courses?</p>
<p>CS 61C or EE 42 will fulfill the Physical Science part of it, so you do not need to worry about it, since those two courses are required for the L&S CS major anyway.</p>
<p>CS C182, which fulfills the Biological Science part, has not been offered since spring 2008.</p>
<p>The various CS 39 courses which fulfill the Historical Studies part cannot be counted on to be offered every year.</p>
<p>Otherwise, choose whichever courses you are interested in. You may also want to consider courses like ESPM 50AC and English 77 / ESPM 12, which fall into more than one of the categories – each course can only fulfill one, but it can fulfill any one of those it is listed for, so if you take some such courses early, you will have more flexibility choosing breadth later.</p>
<p>If you are interested in the history of science and technology, there are courses like History 120AC / ESPM 160AC, History C132B / American Studies C132B, History 138, Information C103 / Media Studies C104C / History C192 / Cognitive Science C103, and Math 160.</p>
<p>Note that at most two courses in one department can be used for the 7 course breadth.</p>
<p>Don’t you feel like you might get sick of CS by doing your major requirements and breadths as CS? You don’t have to exactly take physics for physical science. It can be anything that deals with the physical world, like astronomy.</p>
<p>Astronomy C10 in Fall with Filippenko is a great class.</p>
