Notes
* A minimum of 120 units is required for graduation.
For detailed curriculum for each of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences options, refer to Information for Current Undergraduate Students.
1Students must complete one course from the following list: Astronomy 7A, 7B; Biology 1A and 1AL (must take both), 1B; Chem 1A and 1AL (must take both), 1B, 3A and 3AL (must take both), 3B and 3BL (must take both), 4A, 4B; MCB 32 and 32L (must take both); Physics 7C; or an upper division course of 3 units or more in astronomy, chemistry, earth and planetary science, integrative biology, molecular cell biology, physics or plant & microbial biology. This requirement is listed in the freshman year curriculum, but many of the options would not be appropriate for a first year student. Complete this requirement in the semester when it is most appropriate to do so (i.e., take Physics 7C after completing Physics 7B). Your ESS or Faculty Adviser can help guide your selection on this requirement.
2The Humanities/Social Sciences (H/SS) requirement includes two approved reading and composition courses and four additional approved courses, with which a number of specific conditions must be satisfied. Reading and Composition “A” and “B” must be completed by no later than the end of the sophomore year. The remaining courses may be taken at any time during the program. See coesandbox.berkeley.edu/hss for complete details and a list of approved courses.
3Students must complete a minimum of 20 units of upper division EECS courses. One course must provide a major design experience, and be selected from the following list: EE C106A (formerly C125), C106B, C128, 130, 140, 143, C149, 192; CS C149, 160, 162, 164, 169, 184, 186; EECS 149, 151 and 151LA (must take both), 151 and 151LB (must take both). See footnote 6 for the list of excluded courses. In addition to upper division EECS courses, the following courses can count toward the 20 units of upper division EECS: Info 159, CS 270, CS 280, EE 229A, CS 294-84 (Interactive Device Design), and CS 294-129 (Designing, Visualizing and Understanding Deep Neural Networks). Note that no more than two graduate level courses (courses numbered 200-294) can be used to fulfill requirements for your B.S. degree.
4Students must complete 4 units of Technical Elective(s) chosen from any lower or upper division course in the following departments: astronomy, chemistry, data science, earth and planetary science, integrative biology, mathematics, molecular cell biology, physics, plant & microbial biology, statistics or any engineering department (including EECS). The 4 units of technical elective(s) must be in addition to the natural science elective and the 20 units of required EECS upper division technical electives. If the 4 units of technical elective(s) are from an engineering department, the units can count toward the required 45 units of engineering coursework (see footnote 6). See footnote 6 for the list of excluded courses.
5Students must complete one course about engineering ethics or social implications of technology. This may be fulfilled by completing one of the following courses: BioE 100; CS 195, H195; Ene, Res C100; Engin 125, 157AC; Info 88A; IAS 157AC; ISF 100D, 100G. BioE 100, Ene, Res C100, Engin 125, 157AC; IAS 157AC, ISF 100D, and 100G fulfill both an upper division Humanities/Social Sciences requirement and the EECS ethics/social implication of technology requirement.
6Students must complete a minimum of 45 units of engineering coursework. Technical electives and the 45 units of engineering courses cannot include: any course taken on a P/NP basis; courses numbered 24, 39, 84; BioE 100; ChemE 185; CS 70, C79, 195, H195; Des Inv courses (except Des Inv 15, 22, 23, 90E, 190E); Engin 125, 157AC, 180; IEOR 95, 172, 185, 186, 190 series, 191, 192, 195; ME 191AC, 190K, 191K.
7Free electives can be any technical or non-technical course, any course of your interest offered by any department. There are no restrictions.

Notes
* A minimum of 120 units is required for graduation.
**A fifth semester is granted to transfer student admits who are missing at least three lower division technical courses, of at least 3 units each, for the EECS major when they matriculate to UC Berkeley. Eligible transfer students must contact their ESS Adviser in order to request the fifth semester.
For detailed curriculum for each of the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences options, refer to Information for Current Undergraduate Students.
