Advising

Undergraduate Advising

The advising team for Chicana and Chicano Studies offers in-person as well as remote advising. We recognize that some of our students prefer face to face and others need to meet over Zoom. Either way, we want to make sure that you know someone is here to help you. Take a look below to see how to get in touch with our advising team.

General Education
- For all General Education (GE) advising, please visit the College of Social Sciences Student Success Center, located around the corner from our offices, in Clark Hall, room 240. You can also email their office at socsci-success@sjsu.edu for more information and to set up an appointment.
CCS Major/Minor Information
- Ready to sign up? Our current majors and minors are highly encouraged to meet at least once a semester with our undergraduate advisor. The undergraduate advisor can help with planning your schedule, deciding on future courses, answer questions about your academic plan, etc. Please email Dr. Kimberly Miranda, our undergraduate advisor, to schedule an appointment.
