Advising Notes
- Contact the department chair or CLAS advisor for list of approved electives. A maximum of 3 units from CLAS 106 , CLAS 107 , CLAS 108 , CLAS 145 and CLAS 180T can be used to fulfill 3 units of electives, but students must secure proper and final approval from the department chair or CLAS advisor.
- Consult your advisor or the Schedule of Courses to determine what CLAS courses also meet General Education requirements.
- If the Chicano studies major is taken as a second major, CLAS courses taken to complete General Education Integration requirements also can be used to satisfy major requirements.
- Chicano studies majors are not permitted to take CLAS courses by CR/NC grading (unless the courses are only offered on that basis).
- General Education and elective units may be used toward a double major or minor (see double major or other departmental minor). Consult the appropriate department chair, program coordinator or faculty advisor for further information.
- Students who are planning to do graduate work in Chicano or Latin American studies are advised to study Spanish and/Portuguese.
