All
social welfare majors must concentrate in one of five major social
science departments: Political Science, Psychology, Economics, Sociology,
or Anthropology. Majors are required to take three approved electives
in their concentration department. Refer to the list of approved
concentration electives.

Additional
Social Science Electives (At least 2 courses)
In addition to the three electives courses
that constitute the Concentration, social welfare majors must take
at least two* additional social science electives. The additional
two courses can be selected from the list of concentration electives
-- BUT the additional electives cannot come from the Concentration
department. Students can also select their additional electives
from the list of approved electives in departments other than the
five major social sciences. These departments include African American
Studies, Asian American Studies, American Studies, Chicano Studies,
City & Regional Planning, Demography, Education, Ethnic Studies,
History, Legal Studies, Native American Studies, Peace & Conflict
Studies, Public Health, Public Policy, & Women's Studies.
*The
unit total for the 3 concentration electives and the 2 additional
electives must equal 18 units, or else additional coursework must
be completed. See "Supplemental Units" section below.
Note
for Double Majors: L&S policy only allows you to overlap two
courses to fulfill the requirements of both majors. Special note
for students who double-major with one of the major social sciences
(Anthro, Econ, PoliSci, Psych, or Soc): You may opt to use your
two "overlap" courses to fulfill your Concentration in
a Major Social Science electives requirement, and then take three
additional electives to fulfill the Additional Social Science Electives
component.
Supplemental
Units
The five electives (3 in the your social
science concentration, plus the 2 additional electives) must equal
18 units. Students who choose five electives that do not add up
to 18 units will need additional coursework. Such supplemental units
could come from: a) Additional electives; b) graduate level social
welfare; c) a social welfare elective such as SW 150, SW 104, or
SW 195H; or d) volunteer work through SW 197 or the Stiles Hall
sections of Education 197. Courses taken for Supplemental Units
may be taken on a Pass/No Pass basis.

Note
to students concentrating in Psychology: since most Psychology courses
are credited at 3 units, you are likely to need supplemental units.
