[Please see the Attachment to this page, Breadth Course Requirements, an Excel Document] Breadth course requirements!?!?! Yes, the Graduate Division at Berkeley (the entity that admitted you and that will ultimately grant your degree) requires that each student take at least one upper division or graduate level course outside of their discipline. What does that mean? No one really knows. The only thing that is set in stone is that 1) you must take a breadth before you advance to candidacy and 2) your guiding committee approves your breadth. Outside of your discipline is ambiguous. Talk to someone in your lab about what they took. Most ES and OE people take Political Ecology, which means that PE gets over loaded. What did you take? Or your friends and labmates? Not in ES: ------- I took an ESPM 290 course that was a lecture series on the political and business needs/implications of renewable energy. It happened to be the ?annual? lecture series for a particular forestry endowment, and several times in the term the lecture was followed by dinner at the faculty club and more discussion with the speaker. Food! Wine! Charming surroundings! Really difficult questions, from a non-ES perspective! I recommend it highly. I'm in O&E and took Lynn Huntsinger's 280 class on the history of land management. I don't know how often they offer it, but it was a lot of fun and not too hard for a non-social scientist (i.e. not deeply theoretical). S&E Students:
