<p>Alrite so I've actually been here for about 2 years now and I'd always been under the impression that the L&S 7-course breadth requirements had to be courses that weren't being used to fulfill major requirements as well. But I've been lookin through some stuff now that I'm lookin more into a backup major and all and it sorta sounds like they can be used for both? Amirite or what? Cuz that'd be super helpful if they were since I'm doin a double major and all.</p>
<p>yup. they can overlap with major prereqs but remember to take them for a letter grade in this case.</p>
<p>also, read this: [Office</a> of Undergraduate Advising: 7 Course Breadth](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/7breadth.html]Office”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/7breadth.html)</p>
<p>There is little sweeter than registering in a course that addresses several requirements at once. You could take a course that satisfied one of the breadths, a requirement like AC, was a pre-req for your major, and was a pre-med requirement for eventual medical school admissions. </p>
<p>As a technicality, the class could qualify for more than one breadth category. Even though it would only be counted towards one of the categories when evaluating your satisfaction of the 7-breadth requirement, it allows flexibility in that you can decide later, based on future classes you pick, which of the breadth categories this current class will count against. For example, a class might satisfy both social sciences and international categories, thus if you take a future class for international breadth, this would complete your social sciences requirement, but if your future class is in social sciences, this one becomes your international requirement. </p>
<p>Attend once, pay once, address many needs - excellent. Now if it can be an easy A too . . .</p>
<p>Ah ballerrrrr. Thanks guys.</p>
