What is a breadth requirement? ›

Breadth requirements for your degree are designed to broaden your horizons and extend your knowledge. Courses in literacy, humanities, sciences, social sciences and analytical studies give you a grounding in different fields of study to help you determine your interests and strengths.

Breadth = other subject courses you need to complete your degree(ex. Fine Arts, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, etc.)

To meet ABET standards for accreditation, the Bourns College of Engineering requires that at least two courses used for breadth must be upper division (courses numbered 100-199 at UCR). This depth requirement will be satisfied by taking upper-division courses in the Humanities and/or Social Sciences.

Students have a maximum of 16-units (essentially 4 classes) of repeat for grade replacement. Grades in additional repeats thereafter will be averaged into the GPA. Students repeating a core math or science course must wait until 2nd pass of enrollment to be able to try to register for that course again.

Breadth of learning refers to the full span of knowledge of a subject. Depth of learning refers to the extent to which specific topics are focused upon, amplified and explored. Within any area of study, there will be both breadth and depth of learning, which increase as students advance their knowledge.

The Certificate of Achievement in CSU GE-Breadth is a program that provides students with the option of fulfilling all lower division general education requirements before transferring to the California State University (CSU) system.

The Technical Breadth Requirement (TBR) is a 12.0 unit requirement designed to provide a student with the opportunity to gain working knowledge in a technical area outside their major department. For example: students in the Bioengineering major cannot choose a technical breadth area (TBA) in Bioengineering.

Repeating Courses

Students may repeat up to 16 units of UC coursework in which they received a "D" or an "F" for the purposes of improving their UCR grade point average. Only the first 16 units of coursework that is later repeated will be excluded from the GPA.

All courses shall be graded on the basis of A (distinction, indicating exceptional achievement), B (high pass, indicating more than minimal competence but less than exceptional achievement), C (pass, indicating competence), D (marginal pass), or F (fail).

Most programs will include all attempts for the same course in their calculation of your GPA. Consider taking an upper level class in the same subject instead of retaking a class.
