UCLA SOCIOL 239A: Social Stratification, Mobility, and Inequality

You are looking at Winter 2026. That term is over, so these are last term's numbers rather than seats you can take. dibs holds 1,472 sections for Winter 2026, read about 1 month ago. Separately, it has finished 195 of the 3,572 courses on its current checking list for this term. Future-term coverage is incomplete, so a course with nothing here may simply not have been reached yet. Back to Fall 2026

What comes first

The chain dibs can see is 1 course long before SOCIOL 239A. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for SOCIOL 239A in Winter 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for SOCIOL 210B, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.

Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
