The International Development Studies Program offers counseling to majors and interested students, detailing the program's requirements, expectations, as well as potential career options open to majors. The IDS counseling office is located in Bunche Hall 10347. The IDS Counselors are Carolyn Ramirez-La Faso and Lahra Smith. By not scheduling an appointment, however, you run the risk of waiting in line behind students who arrive before you do, and being bumped by students who did schedule an appointment.
Scheduled appointments have priority over walk-in visits.
If you cannot attend posted office hours, contact the counselor to set up a mutually agreed upon meeting time. We keep a folder of handouts on our bulletin board across from the IDS Office in 10347 Bunche, including information about the major, a worksheet of the major's requirements and a list of classes applicable to the major that are being offered in the upcoming quarter. So if you cannot visit during office hours, there is still information here that you can pick up and read. Click on this link for other UCLA Resources for students.
