Major/Minor Academic Advising

We strive to provide our students with holistic and comprehensive support through one-on-one advising, workshops, and events. Students should work in partnership with their college advisor, major advisor, and other campus units to maximize their time at UCLA and make a positive impact in the world, both during and after their college careers, as informed and responsible global citizens.

Advisors Can Assist You With

• Thoughtful academic and professional planning
• Exploration of research
• Identifying internship opportunities and experiences abroad
• Helping you connect your major to your career and personal goals
• Clarifying the scope and requirements of the major or minor
