General Institute Requirements (GIRs)

The General Institute Requirements include a Communication Requirement that is integrated into both the HASS Requirement and the requirements of each major; see details below.

Summary of Subject Requirements Subjects
Science Requirement 6
Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) Requirement [between three and five subjects can be from the Departmental Program]; at least two of these subjects must be designated as communication-intensive (CI-H) to fulfill the Communication Requirement. 8
Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement 2
Laboratory Requirement (12 units) [can be satisfied by either 24.905[J] or 24.909 in the Departmental Program] 1
Total GIR Subjects Required for SB Degree 17
Physical Education Requirement
Swimming requirement, plus four physical education courses for eight points.

Departmental Program

Choose at least two subjects in the major that are designated as communication-intensive (CI-M) to fulfill the Communication Requirement.

Restricted Electives
A coherent program of three additional subjects from linguistics, philosophy, or a related area 336
Units in Major132
Unrestricted Electives 484-120
Units in Major That Also Satisfy the GIRs(36-72)
Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree180

The units for any subject that counts as one of the 17 GIR subjects cannot also be counted as units required beyond the GIRs.

1

Students who do not use 24.905[J] or 24.909 to satisfy the Laboratory Requirement may count a sixth subject from within the Departmental Program toward the HASS Requirement.

2

Subject has prerequisites that are outside of the program.

3

See the Linguistics and Philosophy subject listing for a list of available subjects.

4

This chart has been calculated based on an overlap of 36 units (three subjects) between the HASS General Institute Requirement and the departmental requirements. Students who develop a program of study with more overlap will be able to select more unrestricted electives to meet the number of total units beyond the GIRs required for an SB degree.

24.9000 How Language Works is also an acceptable option.

2

Students may select a logic subject from another department (e.g., Mathematics) with the approval of their major advisor.
