Program Plans
The Robinson Life Science, Business, and Entrepreneurship Program combines the strengths of the Biosciences Division in the College of Letters and Science and the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. Students complete all academic requirements for both degrees, and all policies of each school are enforced.
In addition, students will take a freshman Intro to Biotech course and complete a senior capstone project. Intro to Biotech is a course designed specifically for students exploring the LSBE Program and is only offered in the Spring.
Prerequisite Courses
| Haas Prerequisites | MCB Prerequisites | Program Prerequisite |
| R1A (or equivalent) | Chem 1A | Intro to Biotech |
| R1B (or equivalent) | Chem 1AL | |
| Math 1A | Chem 3A | |
| Math 1B | Chem 3AL | |
| Statistics | Chem 3B | |
| ECON 1 or 2 | Bio 1A/1AL | |
| UGBA 10 |
Note that Chem 3BL, Bio 1B, and Physics 8A and 8B are not on this list because they are not required to declare the major. However, they are still required to complete the MCB degree.
These prerequisites for both Haas and MCB should be completed by the end of sophomore year. Read more about the Haas prerequisite courses and requirements to declare MCB.
