T he
upper division ES courses blend core requirements with a great deal
of flexibility, allowing students to tailor their coursework to their
own research interests. Just as in the lower division,
upper division coursework is interdisciplinary. Students cap off their
coursework and explore a research interest of their choice in ES
196A, 196B, and 196L, a yearlong senior research project.
Scheduling
Students must take their upper division statistics course prior to enrolling
in ES 100. ES 100, which is only taught in spring semesters, must be completed
before students enroll in ES 196A. In turn, ES 196A is a prerequisite
to ES 196B. This creates a chain of four classes beginning in fall of
the junior year. Students who plan to study abroad or otherwise not continuously
enroll at Berkeley for their junior and senior years should talk to the
ES advisor about planning options.
All ES students
must complete the following Upper Division Requirements.
