Student Advising

At the College of Business & Economics Office of Undergraduate Advising, academic advisors will discuss the requirements for major, minors, General Education (GE), and University degree (overlays, Code, Second Composition, unit, etc.). Advisors are determined by student's last names and class level.

Students interested or enrolled in the Online Degree Completion Program in Business Administration (Online BSBA) should contact cbe_bsba_online@csueastbay.edu or (510) 885-3376.

For assistance with career advising, Academic Advising & Career Education (AACE) offers a number of career development services.
