What Is Business Advising?
Change of Concentration

  

Welcome to the Mihaylo Business Advising Center

The Business Advising Center is the central office for all undergraduate students in the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics. Academic advising is an integral part of your undergraduate education. The center provides information and handouts on major degree requirements, business general education requirements, transfer course evaluations, declaring a concentration, and other policies and procedures.

Connect with a Business Advisor

The Business Advisors are here to assist you in achieving your academic goals through a concept of shared responsibility. The advisors will share their knowledge, provide support and collaborate with you throughout your academic journey.

The advisor role  is to

  • involve you in academic advising by  guiding you through the process rather than simply directing,
  • provide accurate and consistent information and
  • facilitate relationships between you and other appropriate university resources.

The student role is to

  • be accountable for your own decisions,
  • utilize your Titan Degree Audit (TDA) and resources provided to you and
  • take responsibility for actions and decisions that impact your ability to achieve your academic goals.

Business Advisors are available at the Fullerton Campus and Irvine Center Monday through Thursday. Current students may schedule a 30-minute appoitnment during non-registration periods  or drop by during our walk-in hours. Prospective students are welcome to walk-in and see an advisor during non-registration periods. For quick questions feel free to  email an advisor  with your name, campus-wide ID number and question. You will generally receive a response in 48 business hours.
