Our goal is to provide academic and career advising to all College of Science majors, with particular focus on frosh who are in their first three semesters at SJSU and transfer students who are in their first year at SJSU. Currently, our office is serving Biology and Chemistry majors; however, all College of Science majors are invited to stop by to have general advising questions answered or to meet with a peer advisor.
