<p>I'm planning to major in business, so it'll probably be pretty hard. However, I am also interested in Computer Science, so I was wondering if I can aim to apply for Haas while still have CS as my back up in case I don't get accepted. If i do, will it be possible for me to minor in CS along with Business?</p>
<p>So short version:
1. Can I balance out CS & Haas prequesties in my 1st/2nd year so that if I can't get into Haas, I'll still be able to graduate in 4 years with a CS major.
2. If I do get into Haas, can I minor in CS?</p>
<p>If I sound confusing, please ask me to clarify!
Many thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Yep, sounds like something a lot of people would be interested in double majoring in, so I’m sure it’s possible to work towards both majors’ prereqs in your first 3 or 4 semesters</p>
<p>Semester 3:
Math 54
CS 61C
Statistics 20 or 21
Breadth</p>
<p>Semester 4:
EE 42
CS 70
Breadth
Breadth</p>
<p>Of course, you can rearrange the order of some of the courses.</p>
<p>If you have AP credit for R&C or Math, then it becomes easier. (Haas has weird math requirements, but if you will take Math 54, you don’t have to worry about it.)</p>
<p>Note that CS 61C fulfills the Physical Science breadth. If you do not major in Business, then either Economics 1 or UGBA 10 fulfills the Social and Behavioral breadth. So when choosing breadth courses, you may want to try to first fulfill the other categories. Don’t forget to include an American Cultures course somewhere.</p>
<p>^^ Wow that’s magical :o! I was so overwhelmed by how I should organize my schedule and you made it so easy O_O! Thanks! However, do you think I can handle this schedule (is my schedule really packed with hard courses?)? I don’t mind working very hard, just don’t want to get an impossible schedule.</p>
<p>Also, since I don’t really have any past CS experience, should I replace CS 61A with CS 10 or 3S for 1st Semester? Also, why the American Cultures class :p? </p>
<p>^ the AC course is a degree requirement for L&S</p>
<p>if you follow UCBalumnus’ schedule, then semester 3 would be the hardest (from balancing getting a good grade in stats for haas and doing work for math and CS)</p>
<p>Ok I guess I can handle that then. So that will mean my first year will be decently challenging, but not that extreme right. I don’t want to overwhelm myself too much on my first year :(! </p>
<p>Since I’m taking both major prequesties at the same time, am I double majoring or am I majoring/minoring. I assume double major O_O.</p>
<p>All of the books and language interpreters listed above are free.</p>
<p>[American</a> Cultures](<a href=“http://americancultures.berkeley.edu/]American”>http://americancultures.berkeley.edu/) is a campus wide requirement. Courses fulfilling it can also fulfill other breadth or major requirements. Most have “AC” as the suffix for the course number (e.g. Environmental Science, Policy, and Management 50AC), but a few do not (e.g. History 7A and 7B in some semesters are American Cultures courses but do not have the “AC” suffix).</p>
<p>You are not officially double majoring or majoring or minoring until you have declared the major(s) and/or minor(s). You are an undeclared student who is preparing for more than one major.</p>
<p>As far as whether the courses are hard, if you like math and are good at it, the schedule should not be that hard. Be aware that if you have no AP credit for math, you may find a lot of “academic sandbaggers” in Math 1A despite having scores of 5 on the AP Calculus test, which can make the curve artificially hard. If you do have AP credit for math, see the [url=<a href=“http://math.berkeley.edu/courses_AP.html]Math”>http://math.berkeley.edu/courses_AP.html]Math</a> department recommendations<a href=“but%20note%20that%20%5Burl=Application Process - Undergraduate Program - Berkeley Haas”>/url</a>.</p>
<p>Remember also that you can rearrange most of the courses if some are full. The Math, Statistics, CS, and EE courses need to be taken in order that respects their prerequisites, and the R&C A and B need to be taken in order, but Economics 1, UGBA 10, and the breadths can be more freely rearranged.</p>
<p>What if I’m not particularly strong in Math, ucbalumnus :(? I’m currently taking Calculus AB, but I’m not totally strong in that since I entered the class with little to no pre-calc knowledge. I’m not sure how I did on the AP exam, but Haas won’t accept Calculus AB exam scores even if you score a 4 or a 5.</p>
<p>Knowing that, do you think I’ll still have a chance to catch up in Math 1a? Or will I be screwed over again :(?</p>
<p>PS- Downloaded the program! I’ll see what I can do with it now :p!</p>
<p>Since Haas lets you fulfill its math requirement with Math 54 (which you will take for CS anyway), then if you get a 5 on AB, you can take Math 1B and Math 54 and effectively open up another space for a breadth or free elective. However, if you get only a 3 or 4, the Math department does suggest that you may want to take start over in Math 1A.</p>
<p>Ah I see… Is Math 1a just an introduction to Calculus? Or is it way different than Calculus AB? I don’t mind taking Math 1a If I can be sure I will do well in Math 1b.</p>
