As passionate higher education professionals we look forward to helping you get the most out of your experience at Berkeley-Haas. We operate with a shared responsibility to empower our students to make informed decisions about the pursuit and completion of the business major. As such, we will guide and educate you about the personal and academic resources available to you, as well as interpret academic requirements, policies and procedures. We will also help you become independent learners and decision makers. We are here to listen, support, advise and provide equitable service to all our students. Our team is dedicated to providing high quality advising to you. Whether you visit the office in person or call, you will be able to talk to one of our advisors.
