College Requirements
Students in the College of Engineering must complete no fewer than 120 semester units and meet other College, Campus, and University Requirements.
EECS Major Upper Division Degree Requirements
Enrollment policy
Students who are in the EECS major have prioritized seating for highly impacted classes that qualify for Upper-Division units in EECS, ELENG, and Computer Science classes. If students are not in one of these categories, please review our course enrollment policies for ELENG/EECS classes or CS classes for specific information.
Required courses for completion of the EECS Major
All courses taken for the major must be at least 3 units (with the exception of the ethics requirement) and taken for a letter grade. All Upper-Division courses applied toward the major must be completed with an overall GPA of 2.0 or above. The prerequisites for Upper-Division courses are listed in the Berkeley Catalog. For course planning, HKN course guides, maps, and prerequisite charts are a great resource.
