Are you looking for a fun or interesting way to fulfill one or more of your breadth requirements next semester? There is a plethora of classes offered at Cal, so it can often be a daunting process to choose ones that will interest and excite you, and also fulfill the L&S requirements. To make it easier for you, the College of Letters and Science offers a fascinating array of classes titled L&S Discovery Courses.

The L&S Discovery Courses are taught by distinguished UC Berkeley faculty selected by the Dean. These well-known and respected professors choose a creative topic that is "off the beaten path" in their area of study, and design a course that appeals to students of all years and majors. The Spring 2007 semester offers numerous L&S Discovery Courses that satisfy all seven breadth requirements. These include "History of Popular Culture", "War and Peace in the Middle East", "Thinking about Not Thinking: Approaches to Buddhist Meditation", "Physics and Music", "Physics for Future Presidents", and "Archaeology of Sex and Gender" among many others. You can find a listing of all these courses as well as course descriptions at http://lsdiscovery.berkeley.edu/

So, take a chance and expand your horizons!

Cheers from your Peers!
