Due to the limited course offerings in the "2-C" Major Requirement area (three upper-division courses that focus on language and ethnicity) during the 2001-2002 academic year, students who were enrolled at UCSD prior to Fall 2002 may petition to count courses on language and ethnicity offered by other departments; some courses in foreign language at the upper-division level (e.g., Chinese, Vietnamese, Spanish, etc.) or courses in area studies (e.g., Latin American studies, Third World studies, Japanese studies, etc.); or a combination of language and area studies courses in partial fulfillment of this requirement. Students must seek departmental advice on which three upper-division courses would best satisfy this requirement and yield the most rigorous training.

Following is a list of approved courses which may be utilized to fulfill the requirement (popularly known as the "Area Studies List").
