Academic AdvisingThe Warren College academic advising staff assists students with clarifying University and College academic requirements, policies and procedures, and planning educational, personal, and future career goals.

Academic Advising ServicesStudents maintain contact with the Warren College Advising Office in a variety of ways:

• Walk-in Advising Students with general questions or concerns may meet with an academic counselor or peer advisor for 10-15 minute sessions.

• Individual AppointmentAppointments may be scheduled one week in advance, based on availability, Week 3 through Finals Week of each academic quarter.

• Virtual Advising Center (VAC)VAC offers students the opportunity to communicate electronically with academic advisors in both the College and departments. Information is transmitted securely and is kept confidential.

Degree AuditThe Degree Audit on TritonLink is used as an unofficial planning tool to view progress toward graduation.

To view an official list of courses, go to the Academic History page of TritonLink.

The audit displays requirements in a three-column format: Major, College general education, and University.

The audit is updated when changes are made, upon request, and as students enroll in and complete courses.

It is the student’s responsibility to monitor progress toward completion of degree requirements.

Two Programs of Concentration (PofCs) or Area Studies (AS)

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. Engineering majors ONLY

• Each must contain three, four-unit courses, two of which must be upper-division (numbered 100+)• One course in each AS must be taken at UC San Diego • Special Studies course 195 may NOT be used for any AS

Minor A minor may be used in lieu of a PofC or AS if the minor meets the College’s rule on non-contiguity and non-overlap.

An interdisciplinary minor may count in lieu of a PofC or Area Study if at least four of the minor courses are from the discipline in which the PofC or AS will be replaced.

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.

These general-education requirements are for students entering as freshmen and transfer students without completion of a verified transfer program. Transfer students with a completed transfer program should refer to Transfer General-Education Requirements.

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.

Choosing Programs of Concentration

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.
