We care about the health and safety of our students and will be using social distancing in the Center for Advising and Student Services. We are following evolving guidance from the CSU Chancellor’s Office, as well as state and local public health agencies and this decision has come out of an abundance of caution.
To schedule an appointment with an advisor you may do this online through Bulldog Connect or email kremenschool@csufresno.edu.
Master's degree candidates are advised by a faculty advisor or program coordinator. Faculty advisors and program coordinators provide support with program-related and professional questions such as:
- Which courses should I take?
- Is there a specific order for taking the courses?
- What are the program-specific requirements for graduation?
- Should I take the Comprehensive Exam or do a Project/Thesis?
- Are there any research opportunities for students?
For program advising, contact your assigned Faculty Advisor. You can find your assigned Faculty Advisor on your "Student Center" in MyFresnoState. If you do not have an assigned Faculty Advisor, contact your program coordinator.
