Literary and Cultural Analysis

The Arts and Humanities 247 GE courses 51 sections offered in Fall 2026 40 you can take, 1 not open to you, and 10 dibs cannot tell about, each marked on its row
How sorting works
Balanced
40% grades, 40% seat pressure, 20% availability.
Grades
100% grades.
Seat odds
100% seat pressure.
Open first
100% availability.

Percentages are score weights, not enrollment probabilities. Seat pressure combines current fullness and historical demand. Availability uses the latest open, waitlist or closed status, including required discussions. Sorting reorders courses; it does not filter them.

Custom weights can be shared in the URL: w_gpa, w_fill and w_open.

    48. 4 courses dibs cannot rank

      The registrar has published no grades for these, so there is nothing to rank them on. That is dibs saying it cannot tell, not that they grade badly. They sit outside the order above, not at the bottom of it. Everything else on these rows is read the same way as the 47 above.

    Where a course has discussions, the discussion is what you enroll in.

    Assignment labels summarize mentions in past reviews. Missing information does not mean no assignments. A reported zero is shown as No exams or No papers; Mentioned means the reviews did not give a count.

    Seat risk combines current fullness with historical class size. It is a tier, not a probability, and does not account for reserved seats. Some available places may be restricted to a major.

    Always check MyUCLA before you enroll. dibs holds nothing and cannot move you up a list. If MyUCLA disagrees with this page, MyUCLA is right.

    Sections limited to a particular year are marked in the list, not hidden, because you have not said what year you are.
