Advising

You officially begin the major by enrolling in HCOM 300HCOM 300: Major ProSeminar where you work with the instructor to create or revise your Individual Learning Plan. That ILP maps out how you will achieve each of the Major Learning Outcomes and at least one Depth Concentration by successfully completing the listed courses or alternative assessment options. You will continue to work with a faculty advisor every semester to track and maintain progress toward degree.

You must also complete one MLO or one Depth Concentration course that is approved as research or theory intensive, designated on the Required Courses page with an asterisk (*) under the list of available courses for each MLO and concentration. Or the student has the option of taking HCOM 474HCOM 474: Research Methods to fulfill this requirement.

You conclude the major by enrolling in HCOM 475HCOM 475: Senior Capstone where you will complete a publicly presented project that displays your cumulative learning in the major. You should enroll in Capstone during your graduating year. [Learn more at CSUMB.EDU/capstone].

For career advising, graduate school advising, internship advising and related mentoring, you can consult with the concentration coordinator for your specific HCOM concentration.
