<p>Actually, students in Berkeley’s College of Letters and Science cannot use AP credit against the [7</a> course breadth requirement](<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/7breadth.html]7”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/7breadth.html). However, some of the courses that fulfill that requirement, particularly in the sciences, are low level courses that are probably below high school level in rigor (e.g. a physics course that sometimes used a textbook called Physics without Math). So if you mean required breadth when you say “core”, the Berkeley College of Letters and Science “core” is smaller, but less of it can be placed out of with AP credit.</p>
