<p>Two of the L&S 7 course breadth are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Physical science – automatically fulfilled by CS 61C</li>
<li>Biological science – can be fulfilled by an easy course for non-majors</li>
</ul>
<p>In contrast, EECS majors are required to take Physics 7A and 7B, and one other science (the only non-major ones allowed are Chemistry 1A, 1B, 3A, and 3B, but those are still considerable work and filled with pre-meds fighting for A grades).</p>
<p>Also, for R&C, IB HL English A1 gives you only R&C A for CoE, according to <a href=“http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/advising/advising%20handbbk%2011-12.pdf[/url]”>http://coe.berkeley.edu/students/current-undergraduates/advising/advising%20handbbk%2011-12.pdf</a> . IB HL English A2 gives you only a generic lower division H/SS. In contrast L&S gives you R&C A and B for IB HL English A1 or A2.</p>
