The Sociology Advising Office offers individualized, professional academic counseling to UW’s diverse student population. Advisors serve current and prospective Sociology majors as well as transfer students at any stage of the transfer process. Our academic counselors regularly meet with majors and non-majors to assist in choosing a major field of study, making academic plans, and deciding on coursework. The Advising Office also works to connect students to campus resources (including tools and services for career preparation) and to learning opportunities outside the classroom.

If you are visiting Seattle or commuting from a significant distance, please make an appointment to meet with a Sociology Advisor in advance of your trip
