Advising for Berkeley undergraduate students is a shared responsibility between college advisers, Undergraduate Major Advisers (UMAs), and advisers located in co-curricular and academic support programs. The Social Welfare undergraduate major functions as a department of the College of Letters and Science (L&S). We are part of the L&S Social Sciences "A" Advising Neighborhood.
