<p>UCLA is one of my top choices, yet I'm still at a loss as to what to major in. On my application, I put "Anthropology" as my first-choice...but I personally really want to study something health-related, as that encompasses both my primary interests and career goals. I like anthropology, but I don't think I could get a job with a degree in anthro, just in case I don't go to med school. Does UCLA offer any Public Health courses for undergrads? Or do you think I should create my own major if I go there and kind of pick out classes that I really want to take? Thanks!</p>
<p>Hey Lovelyday -</p>
<p>Don't sweat it too much. Are you considering any arts or engineering majors or even a nursing major? If not, do not worry. You will be in the College of Letters and Sciences and you will have plenty of time to decide what you want to do. You'll be taking general education courses, writing courses, and core courses from your intended study of major. If you are totally clueless and have just a slight inkling of what you want to pursue, you can always take a class from that core that potentially might count for a GE or a series of GEs with a writing course or something of that nature. Bottom line: you'll have time to decide, especially since you will be trying to complete some of the school's requirements as your progress and evaluate your interests.</p>
<p>Well, if you're going into anthropology and are considering something health-related, the Chem 14 series, Math 3 series, and LS series will fulfill a variety of biology/health major requirements. Safest bet would be to take GE classes that will satisfy all majors within the College of Letters and Science, just so you can have flexibility when choosing your potential major.</p>
<p>Lovelyday,</p>
<p>You are simply too young to be worrying about creating a major. Don't worry, there is something for everyone at UCLA. Enjoy the buffet-style choices your first few quarters, then decide from there.</p>
