Declaring the Major

As a declared sociology major, you will have a distinct advantage in enrolling in upper division sociology courses.  During Phase 1, most of our upper division Sociology courses are restricted to declared Sociology majors. 

 

Eligibility. You are eligible to declare if you have the following: 

1) a 2.0 major g.p.a. 

2) Completion of at least one Sociology major requirement and 

3) the three prerequisite courses completed or in progress (see Major Requirements).

 

When to Declare.  It is recommended that you officially declare as soon as you're ready to do so.  You may declare anytime during the year.

 

How to Declare.  Once the prerequisite courses are completed or in progress, please complete this online Sociology Major Declaration Form. You will need to complete the form using your Berkeley Email account. Within a week you will receive a message if you were declared and if not, the reason why.
