<p>Depends on the college. There are some UC-wide requirements that you take regardless of which UC you attend. There are some Cal-wide requirements. Then there are ‘breadth’ requirements at the College of Letters and Sciences (and to a lesser extent the College of Engineering). Each college has a web site listing all this. Here is the information for College of L&S:</p>

<p>Most people think of the GEs as the ‘breadth’ requirements - look at that part. Really there are hundreds of classes to choose among, not a small list of specific courses.</p>

<p>They are breadth requirements.</p>

<p>GEs are excuses to take classes that you like but are not necessarily required for you major!</p>

<p>They should be easy/fun!! {easy because they’re fun!}</p>
