Peer Advising

For Undergraduate Students

Peer advisors are current UC Davis students who are well-informed about a variety of advising topics and serve as a valuable resource in the Business Advising Office. Business major students, accounting minor and technology management minor students, and students seeking to declare the business major can meet with peer advisors on a drop-in basis to learn more about:

  • Degree requirements
  • Course selection and academic plans
  • Double majoring and minoring
  • Online tools such as Schedule Builder and OASIS
