<p>What major(s) are you considering?</p>
<p>For example, many majors at Berkeley require 12 to 15 courses, which is about 48 to 60 credit units out of 120 needed to graduate. In a few cases, AP credit may substitute for some freshman level courses (e.g. the math major requires 13 courses, but students with a 5 on AP calculus BC can skip two of them). The “smallest” major at Berkeley is probably linguistics, which requires 8 or 9 courses totalling at least 30 credit units.</p>
<p>However, some majors consume significantly more schedule space. Examples include engineering majors.</p>
<p>Of course, there are also breadth requirements to consider.</p>
