UC Berkeley Business Administration: full GE notes
Cal-GETC and IGETC play no part in Haas admission; the school's own seven-course breadth requirement applies later, toward your degree, not your application.
3 semesters minimum for MATH B1A onward
MATH B1A, then MATH B1B, then MATH B6A: each needs the one before, so 3 semesters minimum. Start MATH B1A in your first semester. Placing higher shortens it.
