Advising

The Department of Sociology encourages all students to seek advising for guidance in planning their academic schedules. We recommend that all students schedule at least 1 advising appointment per semester to ensure being on track towards graduation.  

Advising is broken down into academic advising through the COSS Advising Center and career advising through faculty in the department. 

For All Your Academic Advising Needs:

• Advising on majors, minors, and certificates within the COSS
• Academic Plans
• Class Registration Assistance 
• General Education Requirements
• Degree Requirements/Grad Checks
• How to read your Degree Progress Report (DPR)
• Clearing Registration Holds
• Change of Major

This amazing group of individuals will work with and help you navigate your academic trajectory in Sociology at Fresno State.

For Your Career Advising Needs:

Faculty in the department are committed to meeting with students to assist them in navigating career and life plans, from jobs, to gap year programs, to graduate school.

Faculty advisors are assigned based on the student's last name, see list below. (Students may choose from among any of the faculty listed above).
