The L&S seven-course breadth requirement gives students the opportunity to explore fascinating worlds of knowledge. Letters & Science Discovery Courses are courses ideally suited to fulfill the L&S breadth requirement in engaging ways. These courses are taught by some of the best teachers among the Berkeley faculty. Deliberately designed to engage and ignite the minds of non-experts, L&S Discovery Courses are destined to be unforgettable.
"I love the L&S Discovery Courses—this is my third! I feel it contributed greatly to my understanding of the world and to my education."
— L&S Discovery Course Student
The L&S Discovery Course program is administered by the College of Letters & Science’s Division of Undergraduate Studies and serves students in all colleges and schools across the UC Berkeley campus. The program is generously supported in part by donors to the L&S Leadership Fund.
