Hello, I’ve been admitted to UCSD for sociology and economic society. The college which I’ve been assigned is Thurgood Marshall. I’m not entirely sure what the major entails to, is it sociology with an emphasis on economics? I’m not even sure where I could find a breakdown or answer. Also, what is the importance of the college I was assigned?
The college you are accepted into determines your GE courses:

Here are the major classes and then the concentration:
The Major
Students may choose to major in general sociology or in one of several concentrations, described below. Some basic requirements for the BA are common to all of these majors. All students must complete four lower-division and twelve upper-division courses in sociology.
A 2.0 GPA is required in the major, and students must earn at least a C– in each course used for the major. No courses taken to apply toward the major may be taken on a Pass/Not Pass basis except Sociology 199. Only one such special studies course (including internships) may be applied toward the major. Special studies courses must be applied for and approved by the department before the beginning of the quarter in which the student wishes to enroll, and can only be taken on a Pass/Not Pass basis. See the staff undergraduate coordinator for the necessary application forms and deadlines.
Lower Division
The four lower-division requirements for a major in sociology are
Sociology 1, 2 and 60. (We strongly recommend you take Sociology 1 and 2 in sequence.)
One course from the following: Sociology 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50
It is advisable that students complete these required lower-division courses (which should be taken during the freshman or sophomore year) before continuing with their upper-division work. Sociology 60 is a prerequisite for all upper-division methods courses.
Upper Division
Twelve upper-division courses are needed for the major. Sociology 100 is required (students are strongly advised to complete this course by the end of their junior year), as well as one of the following methods courses:
Sociology 103M
Sociology 104
Sociology 104Q
Sociology 105
Sociology 106
Sociology 106M
Sociology 108
Sociology 109
Sociology 110
Sociology 60 is a prerequisite for these methods courses.
Concentration in Economy and Society
Students may graduate with a BA in sociology/economy and society by completing at least five of the following courses as part of the ten upper-division courses required for the major. This concentration is especially appropriate for those interested in careers related to contemporary business.
