- Getting Declared in the Major:
-
Though you indicated an interest in an L&S major in your application, once at Cal, you will need to declare your major. The first step for declaring the major in Gender & Women's Studies is to complete the prerequisite classes above. Transfer students benefit most by meeting the dept's SAO (see above) to learn more about the details of the major, including options for internships, study abroad, special research and the GWS student association. Students can declare the major throughout the academic year. Please feel free to drop by anytime if you have any questions regarding the major. Once you are sure that the major is right for you, you can turn in your declaration packet. You can get the declaration materials at 3329 Dwinelle Hall. Please complete the forms and return them to the department SAO. Once the College receives and approves your declaration, you will be officially declared in our department.
