Welcome to the Business Advising Center

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

Academic advising is an integral part of your undergraduate education. Know that all students find college overwhelming at one time or another in their academic career. I would encourage you to take advantage of the Business Advising Center’s resources that can help your hard work pay off. The Advising team is happy to support you with any challenges you are facing so please do not hesitate to reach out and ask for help.

Business Advisor & Student Roles

The Business Advisors are here to strategize with you about your academic, professional and personal aspirations that will help you to reach your goals. Business advisors help you achieve 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. Advising hours are found online:  https://business.fullerton.edu/programs/undergraduate/advising/hours
