sjsu communication dept website/ meeting with an advisor

Today I took some time looking at the department website which is very informative. The top of their home page provides likes that regard information about the department. For example, one link directs the person to the information about the history of the department; the next link directs the person to the undergraduate and graduate programs. One link directs students to advising which was one of the main reasons why I went to the website. At the bottom of the home page it separates links into sections for incoming freshman, transfer students, and graduating seniors. The directory provides information about events that are happening within the program. After looking at the page, I got the opportunity to meet with a department chair for advising to plan out next semester. With meeting with the adviser I learned a lot about the department and came to realization that I going to change my major from social work to communication. The advisor that I met asked me if I had any knowledge about the two-year graduation plan. I had no idea what that was, so she explained and helped me out by creating one with me. She told me what classes I needed looking at my transcript and told me I had the opportunity to graduate in 3 semesters. With telling me that, if I were to do the tree-year path it will be tough and stressful. It is going to be stressful because the course load and trying to obtain all the classes I need with the challenges of registering for classes. Overall, it was a great experience talking with the adviser and I suggest that if you haven’t done so yet go meet up with one and try to get a two-year graduation plan.
