Academic Support Center

Welcome to the College of Liberal Arts Academic Advising Center

Vision

Academic advising at CSU inspires students to pursue their academic and professional goals.

Mission

Guided by CSU’s Principles of Community and the Land-Grant mission of access and equity, we achieve our vision through an integrated community of advisors who engage in intentional, holistic, and relationship-centered interactions to empower all students to navigate their unique paths and foster learning, development and academic success.

Goals and Learning Objectives

Goal 1: Students will understand connections between themselves, their choices, and their experiences at CSU
Goal 2: Students will build reflection, critical thinking, and navigational skills
Goal 3: Students will progress toward their academic and career goals

What are the Liberal Arts?

We offer 18 different majors in the CLA, many of which include concentrations and teacher licensure programs. Whether you are interested in Anthropology, Foreign Language, Journalism, History, or International Studies, we will have a program to fit your needs.

What is My First Step?

Whether you are a first semester student or a transfer student, your first step is to attend an orientation specially designed for you. Orientation provides you the opportunity to meet with an academic advisor and get registered for classes, learn more about your major, meet other students, learn about involvement opportunities, CSU tradition and much more.
