Programs of Concentration (PofCs) - For all majors except B.S. Engineering majors • Each must contain six, four-unit courses, three of which must be upper-division (numbered 100+), except for Science and Technology and Fundamentals of Biology, which may consist of six lower-division courses • At least two courses from each PofC must be taken at UC San Diego • Special Studies course 195 may NOT be used for any PofC — OR — Area Studies (AS) - For B.S.

A business minor may be used in lieu of a Social Science PofC or AS only when specific, allowable courses are chosen. See a Warren academic counselor for more information.

5 Choosing Programs of Concentration

The major, combined with two PofCs, must represent ALL THREE disciplines: Humanities & Fine Arts; Natural Sciences, Math & Engineering; and Social Sciences. Notify Warren Advising via the Virtual Advising Center to have your choices added to your degree audit. We recommend declaring by the end of your second year. All Major Departments Except B.S.

For Interdisciplinary PofCs, see next page. + Cognitive Science may be chosen as a PofC in only one discipline. * Specialized PofCs - specific courses required - see following pages for requirements. ♦ Students may choose only one of the following PofCs: Humanities, Science and Technology, or Perspectives of Social Science. 6 Interdisciplinary PofCs Interdisciplinary PofCs Interdisciplinary PofCs require six courses, three of which must be upper division. In order to categorize the PofC, four of the six courses must be chosen from the discipline in which the PofC will be used. See the department/ program website for approved courses.

PofCs must be chosen from a department/program different from your major, minor, or other PofC.

Language courses, if allowed for the PofC, count as humanities/fine arts courses. A maximum of three language courses can be used for a Humanities and Fine Arts interdisciplinary PofC; a maximum of two language courses can be used for a Social Science interdisciplinary PofC.

Students should meet with an academic counselor during walk-in hours to discuss applicable coursework.
