Haas Breadth Guidelines

The 7-Course Breadth Requirement consists of the following categories:

Students should adhere to the 7-Course Breadth guidelines outlined on the College of Letters and Science web site with the following exceptions:

Students must take one course from each category. All 7 courses must be completed by the end of the Spring term prior to your start at the Haas Undergraduate Program.

You must meet this requirement through course work. Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate credit will not fulfill the requirement.

Breadth courses may be taken at a California Community College during the summer. Please follow the most current Articulation Agreement between the community college and UC Berkeley for the business administration major. This information can be found on the www.assist.org web site by selecting the community college, then UC Berkeley, then the business administration major.

Breadth courses cannot be taken off campus during the academic year in which you apply. For example, students applying in November 2009 cannot take breadth courses off campus during Fall 2009 or Spring 2010.

 

Transfer Students

The 7-Course Breadth Requirement consists of the following categories:

Prerequisites, business courses, micro and macro economics cannot be used to fulfill breadth requirements.

Students must take one course from each category. All 7 courses must be completed by the end of the Spring term prior to your start at the Haas Undergraduate Program.

You must meet this requirement through course work. Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate credit will not fulfill breadth requirements.

All courses must be UC transferable and carry at least 2 semester or 3 quarter units.

California community college students must follow the most current Articulation Agreement between their school and UC Berkeley for the business administration major. This information can be found on the www.assist.org web site by selecting the community college, then UC Berkeley, then the business administration major. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) will NOT satisfy Haas School of Business requirements.

Students with college work from schools other than California Community Colleges may fulfill breadth requirements with UC-transferable courses that fit the breadth guidelines. Compare the descriptions of breadth coursework required of Berkeley applicants, listed on the Haas web site and in the UC Berkeley General Catalog, with the descriptions of courses offered at your school to get a general idea of which courses you might take to satisfy the breadth requirements. Most academic courses are UC-transferable if comparable to courses offered at UC. Vocational and personal enrichment classes do not qualify. Please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions to determine if your courses are UC transferable.
