Getting started in History: 2023-2024 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.
|
Importance of an early start: |
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. |
|
Qualification requirements and/or prerequisites for the major: |
The history major has no qualification requirements. All students are eligible to pursue this major, even if they did not list history on their UC Santa Cruz application. It is advisable to complete at least one lower-division history course (1–99) before declaring, but it is not required. Students who plan on majoring in history are encouraged to declare as soon as possible. Students should submit a petition to declare before or by their declaration deadline quarter. |
