<p>I had a few questions regarding Berkeley.</p>

<p>How highly regarded is the Environmental Economics and Policy major? Are there other similar majors that people would recommend taking in its place?</p>

<p>How easy is it to double-major? Can a course fulfill more than one requirement? Can you double-major with an additional minor? Double major and double minor? I have a feeling there is a website regarding this exact topic but I have not been able to find it. </p>

<p>How are the foreign language classes at Berkeley? After how long can one expect to become proficient in a foreign language? Is it possible to become proficient in more than one language while at the same time fulfilling a non-language major?</p>

<p>And finally: If you get accepted into Haas (the business school) for your junior year, can you double major across schools (major in say, international business, through Haas while majoring in a different department at Letters and Science?</p>

<p>I know that is a lot of questions, but any help would be great. Feel free to tackle the questions individually. Thank you!</p>

<p>Foreign language classes are def not an easy walk in the park - they may be ok the first 2 semesters, but as you get higher up, they get more difficult. I've heard that Spanish and French are especially intense. Italian is a pretty good (albeit small) department. You take 4 semesters of language instruction (1,2,3,4), then you choose from "upper division" classes which are bascially writing/reading classes in that language (essay writing, reading books, etc).</p>

<p>I believe you can double major with Haas. I've heard of people double majoring in Engineering and Haas (I think they were robots).</p>
