Need Help?


Several people are available to advise and assist UCLA sociology majors. The department's undergraduate advisor, Simbi Mahlanza, is available to answer students' questions about department matters and help with course selections and a variety of issues pertaining to the major. Her phone number is (310) 825-1215 and her e-mail is mahlanza@soc.ucla.edu. Drop-in counseling is available Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00pm.

In addition, a Sociology Counseling Assistant is available at the Letters and Science Counseling Office. They can assist in course selection as well as study habits, time management, and more general Letters & Science questions.

The faculty member responsible for undergraduate matters is the Vice Chair for Undergraduate Affairs, Professor Abigail Saguy (saguy@soc.ucla.edu)

Faculty members are also resources for undergraduates. Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of faculty availability during scheduled office hours. Office hours provide students with an opportunity to get course materials clarified, to go beyond course materials, or just to get to know professors and/or teaching assistants better.
