UNDERGRADUATE BUSINESS ADVISING CENTER

BUSINESS ADVISING SYLLABUS

Business Advising Services
Students interested in the pre-business majors, upper division business majors, or business minors should visit the Business Advising Center (BAC). Business students need to see a business advisor at least once a semester to make sure he/she is on track. Walk-in advising is available during open hours. Appointments can be made except during the first two weeks of the Fall and Spring semesters. Students can contact the BAC by phone or email to have a business advisor answer general questions. Study Abroad advising is available to students that have attended a Study Abroad Workshop (visit www.sdsu.edu/cbabroad for dates).
