<p>Lets say I'm an engineering major, that means I need two area studies. One area study must be from Humanities and Fine arts, and the other area study needs to be from social sciences? Correct? That means I cannot choose, for example, Literature and Music as two of my area studies because that is in the same category?</p>
<p>YEAH i need help with this too. im an engineer gion into warren as welll</p>
<p>What chuckster was correct. You can’t take two Area Studies under the same category.
There’s a list on UCSD somewhere listing the different studies in each category.
Just remember that you have to take 1 lower-division course in each of the two Area Studies and 2 upper-division courses in the two studies each.</p>
<p>wait so is it like basically having 2 minors?</p>
<p>@silvercrystal</p>
<p>Isn’t it that you just have to have at least 2 of them be upper division? So couldn’t you have all 3 of them be upper division… if somebody wanted to?</p>
<p>@hyunmi</p>
<p>Area studies are 3 classes and minors are 7+, so not really.</p>
<p>@KingsElite:
I guess so… o_o not too sure about that… but that does make sense.</p>
<p>Sorry for bumping up an old thread but…</p>
<p>For area studies, do the classes need to be the same? Say for Humanities/Fine Arts, can i take a lower division course in music and two upper division courses in philosophy. Would i be done with my AS or do they all need to be one subject?</p>
<p>Yes, you can, so as long those classes fall under that particular AS. They don’t all have to be in one “subject”.</p>
<p>Okay. Thanks. Is there a list of all the classes i’m eligible for? I only see these categories, but i dont know what some classes are.</p>
<p>Classical Studies
Foreign Language & Culture*
History
Humanities*
Literature
Music
Philosophy
Theatre and Dance
Visual Arts</p>

<p>Physalis is wrong. It either needs to be from one department or be a specialized AS. You can essentially pick any 4 unit classes from a department if it’s not specialized.</p>
<p>Thanks for correcting that. Looking at the advising handbook, it says this.</p>
<p>“Humanities
Any combination of three courses, two of which must be upper-division, from History, Literature, Music, Philosophy, Theatre and Dance, or Visual Arts. Each course must be at least four units. Linguistics/Language courses are not allowed.”</p>
<p>So humanities basically a combination of the other departments correct? I can take one class from history, one from literature, and one from music? </p>
<p>If on the list i posted above DOESNT have an asterisk, i need to stay within the department correct?</p>
<p>^Yep. 10char</p>
<p>Sorry, seems like I mistook Humanities/Fine Arts as a AS instead of the of two disciplines. Still, as long as the classes you’re taking fall under that particular AS, they don’t have to be in one subject/dept.</p>
