Academic and Career Advising

Maximize Your College Experience

Throughout your college career, take advantage of academic and career advising services. While we offer numerous resources, your active participation is essential. We are committed to your success, but we need your involvement. By reviewing these resources and preparing for your advising sessions, we can work together to create a personalized course of study that aligns with your future goals.

Freshman and Sophomores

Freshman and sophomore majors are offered academic advising by the Center for Advising and Student Success (CASS). While you can schedule an appointment with CASS, we encourage you to also establish a relationship with a sociology faculty mentor in your area of interest. Building a connection with the Sociology Department early in your academic journey can be beneficial.

Juniors and Seniors

Juniors and seniors will be assigned a sociology faculty advisor. However, you may choose to work with another faculty member as you approach graduation.

Ethnic Studies and Mexican-American Studies Students

Students pursuing the Ethnic Studies B.S. or the Ethnic Studies and Mexican-American Studies minors are advised by Dr. Dora Ramirez, the Director of Ethnic Studies.

Education Students

Students seeking Education degrees should contact the advisor for social science educators within the College of Education.
