Reflect on your interests and consider what areas of history you’d like to learn more about.
Familiarize yourself with the history major and its areas of concentration:
Copy a History Major Planning Worksheet to your UCSC Google Drive.
Complete the History Major Virtual Advising Tutorial course by August 1st. An invitation from Canvas to participate in this course will be sent to your UCSC email on July 16th.
Review the General Catalog, especially the sample academic plans and major qualification policy.
Enroll in one lower division history class (HIS 1-99) that interests you. Exploring your interests is a great way to get started in this major!
Additional considerations when developing your first quarter enrollment plan can be found in the First Quarter Enrollment Advising Guide 2025-26.
