Department Advisors
While we offer professional academic advising for your major, your Department Undergraduate Advisor is your primary source for career and major advising.
All CoS Academic Advising is now VIRTUAL. For most up to date hours please email your major advisor to set up a virtual appointment or visit department website.
Contact information for advisors listed below.

Dual Modeling of Advising:
At SDSU we have a dual model of advising. All General Education (GE) advising happens at the Advising & Evaluations office and major advisors can’t advise on GEs. All major course advising happens with your department advisor or supplementally requests can also be made in our CoS Student Success Center.
