Getting Started in Latin American and Latino Studies / Sociology Combined: 2023-2024 Entering Transfers

🔙

Students are admitted to UC Santa Cruz with a "proposed major" in most cases, and later petition to officially declare the major. Admission does not guarantee acceptance into a particular major, although transfer students' records are screened for preparation for many majors at the time of admission. Junior transfer students must be formally declared by the deadline in their second quarter of enrollment.

Qualification requirements and/or prerequisites for the major:

Review transfer information and policy, getting started, and major qualification requirement sections in the General Catalog. Contact lalsadvising@ucsc.edu with any questions, including questions about transfer courses in sociology and LALS, and to create an academic plan to graduate. Transfer students typically declare the LALS/sociology combined major in their second quarter at UCSC.

Transfer students who intend to pursue this major should do the following prior to the beginning of their first term…
  • If you have taken college-level transferable classes in sociology or LALS, please contact the undergraduate advisor.
  • Review upcoming 2023-24 courses for sociology and LALS to start thinking about which courses you want to take.
  • Contact LALS Advising to make an academic plan with the courses required to graduate.

...and should take these courses their first term:
  • LALS 1: Introduction to Latin American and Latino Studies and LALS 100: Concepts and Theories in Latin American and Latino Studies. Students should also take any remaining lower-division sociology requirements, or if those are complete, select a sociology elective or SOCY 105A as their third class.

If unable to enroll in the courses listed above:

 Contact LALS Advising. Enrollment in LALS 1 and LALS 100 is guaranteed for LALS/SOCY combined major students, and we can help you find sociology class as well.
