Changing or adding the business major (starting Fall 2027)
Due to high demand and limited capacity, the UC Davis business major is capped at 50 changes of major per year. Beginning in 2027, eligible students who wish to change to or add the business major must apply through lottery. This process ensures equitable access while maintaining academic standards.
For current UC Davis students who are interested in learning more about our minor programs, please attend peer advising drop-in hours or an information session.
Peer advising is available at the following times. To meet with a peer advisor, please come to the front desk of Gallagher Hall.
Minor Advising
(Note: the Business Minor was formerly the Technology Management Minor)
Students graduating prior to fall 2026 will complete the technology management minor. Beginning fall 2026, the program name will change to business minor.
Students with questions about how this change applies to their graduation timeline should contact the academic advisor for the minor programs for individualized guidance.

Major Advising
Every student majoring in business is assigned an advisor who serves as a source of knowledge and support. This partnership begins the summer before matriculation and continues to graduation.
Advisors work closely with offices across the UC Davis campus to help create better experience for students as they grow intellectually, socially and professionally. Advisors are a point of contact for a variety of issues and questions including the following:
