Low major requirements

<p>At Berkeley, physics requires 50 credit units (42 if you know freshman calculus well enough to skip it going in), while philosophy requires 48 credit units. With no overlapping courses, they will require 90 to 98 credit units out of 120.</p>

<p>The remaining 22 to 30 credit units can be used to fulfill general requirements that you will not already have fulfilled going in or will automatically fulfill with your major courses:</p>

<p>Of course, if your majors have more overlap, like physics and math or physics and astronomy, then fitting it all together becomes easier.</p>
