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
  • Business-related clubs and engagement opportunities

Paul Fortun MBA 27

I chose UC Davis for its strong name recognition, collaborative community and great flexibility. Recommendations from friends also played a role in my decision, as I wanted to further my education and continue growing personally and professionally.

Andrew Rozak MBA 27

I chose UC Davis because of the cohort aspect of the experience. I wanted to challenge myself to complete a rigorous program but did not want to feel alone along the way. It is comforting knowing that I have a few dozen peers who will be with me on this journey for the next two and a half years. 

I am also passionate about improving healthcare, and UC Davis gives me the opportunity to network with other healthcare professionals to expand my knowledge on the topic from different angles.
