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.
