<p>The CoC breadth requirements are probably the most generous ones here at at Cal. </p>

<p>For ChemE, you need 19 total units of humanities and social sciences. Within those 19 units, there must be an English R1A or equivalent reading composition A course (reading composition B courses are not required), an American Cultures course, and a two course sequence (one lower div and one upper div) in any humanities/social sciences department or in two closely allied departments. Aside from that, you can use pretty much any humanities or social science course at Berkeley. Most humanities/social science AP courses (like AP US History, AP English, AP Economics, AP US Government, etc.) and community college courses can also count for this requirement. </p>

<p>For Chemistry and Chemical biology, you only need 15 units of breadth, but you must take both Reading and Composition A and Reading and Composition B (not necessarily from the same department). Aside from that, you need 2 or more courses, one of which must satisfy the American Cultures requirement also. You also need to satisfy a foreign language requirement, which can be completed in high school, through AP credit, or by taking a second semester language course at Berkeley. There is no upper div + lower div series requirement. AP and Community College classes can be used here as well.</p>
