Sociology Undergraduate Advising

The mission of the Sociology Undergraduate Advising Office is to help students graduate in a timely and meaningful manner. In addition to assistance in navigating program requirements, the undergraduate advisor can provide advice on class selection, academic planning, career paths, and graduate school. The undergraduate advisor also assists with major declarations, minor verifications, and the completion of graduation paperwork.


Declaring a Sociology Major

There are two ways to declare a major in Sociology.

  • Students may declare it at the time they apply to UH Mānoa.
  • After meeting with the undergraduate advisor, students will complete a Kuali Declaration form. The form will be processed by the Registrar’s Office and the major will appear on the student’s STAR record.

Declaring a Sociology Minor

Students must complete a Kuali Declaration form. The form will be sent to the Registrar’s Office for processing, and the minor will appear on the student’s STAR pages. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with the undergraduate advisor for advice on courses to take.
