Academic Advising for Science and Math Students
The CNSM Academic Advising Center serves the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM) and is committed to helping students graduate in a timely manner with a highly-valued degree from California State University Long Beach. This is accomplished through providing excellent academic advising and support services, while partnering with CNSM students to identify and achieve their educational and career goals.
Need Advising Help?
Each student in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics has an assigned academic advisor. This assignment is based on whether you are fully declared or a pre-major, and your particular major within CNSM. If you are a pre-major then contact your pre-major advisor; otherwise please contact your major advisor.
To request a change to a CNSM pre-major, please see Declaring a Pre-Major.
To request a change to a CNSM major or minor, please see Declaring a Major.
If you are interested in studying science or math, please check out Prospective Science and Math Students for access to a virtual tour of the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, as well as more information about student research and degrees here at CSU Long Beach.
Please contact University Outreach and School Relations if you are wanting general information on The Beach. Outreach is available to help you make an informed decision about your college choice.
