Getting started in Education, Justice, and Democracy: Fall 2024 Entering Frosh

🔙

Students are admitted to UCSC with a "proposed major" in most cases, and later petition to officially declare the major. Admission to UCSC does not guarantee acceptance into a particular major. Students must be declared in a major by the end of the second year (or equivalent), so learning about and preparing for a major is a primary goal for first-year students.

This major is not highly sequential or course intensive. Although it is advisable to begin taking courses toward the major in the first year, it is not required.
