Haas Literature Requirement

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I'm a freshman attempting to double in EECS and Business at UC Berkeley and I need some serious help picking out courses. I think I'm a junior in status right now, so I don't have as many breadth courses to fill, but I still have a few. Before I apply to Haas, which means in the next three semesters, I have to complete.
Stats 21
Literature/Writing Requirement
3 breadth courses</p>

<p>Also, does Haas require you to complete your R/C requirement before your accepted? They don't say on their website.</p>

<p>What I'm looking for is an EASY literature/writing course, and some relatively easy (mostly means not a lot of reading) breadth courses. Whatever I take will be on top of a heavy EECS load, so I'd prefer if the Literature requirement was easy. My course load next semester is
CS70
CS61BL
Math 54
EE20N</p>

<p>Particularly, how is the L&S discovery course "War and Peace in the Middle East." Is it interesting, a lot of reading? Is it offered every semester?
What about the Scandinavian Literature classes? How heavy is that reading?</p>

<p>Please share any other Lit/Writing gems you guys have found.</p>

<p>The course listing is available at:</p>

<p>Are rhetoric courses not eligible for this Haas req then?</p>

<p>I'm planning to go abroad second semester of next year (to england hopefully). Is it not allowed to take the Literature/Writing at a different school?</p>

<p>This is a mouthful I know. Any advice that you can contribute would be great.</p>

<p>I believe the L&S discovery course is indeed offered next semester but I don't think it satisfies the writing requirement...</p>

<p>Isn't it really, really, really hard to double in EECE and Haas?</p>

<p>harder for some than others. And this depends on your status going in, not your intelligence level or anything. I will go into sophmore year with senior status, and a lot of my AP courses/community college courses satisfy haas prereqs so its not that much of a stretch. I will have to load myself up a bit, and it will be hard, definitely, but not undoable :).</p>
