STEM-E Pathway Counseling

STEM-E (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math & the Environment) Pathway counselors are available to help you achieve your goals! STEM counseling is for students who plan to major in a STEM field such as Biology, Computer Science, Engineering, Environmental/Earth Science, Geology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, and/or are interested in continuing on to a professional program such as Medical, Dental, Pharmacy or Veterinary School. 

All STEM Pathway students should start by seeing a STEM Counselor.

  • Complete Counseling forms (such as: excess units, prerequisite overrides, course repeat petitions etc.)
