The Matador Advising Hub

Welcome to the Matador Advising Hub!

The Matador Advising Hub is the home for Exploratory students at CSUN, where we celebrate discovering your path. Through our Matador Academic Pathways (MAP) program, you’ll get support from dedicated advisors and helpful campus resources—all designed to guide you as you explore your academic options and set yourself up for success.

Whether you're considering multiple interests, discovering new passions, or simply wanting to make an informed decision about your academic future, we're here to transform uncertainty into opportunity. Your exploration isn't a detour—it's a strategic advantage that builds decision-making skills, academic confidence, and career clarity that will benefit you throughout your education and beyond.

In addition, the Hub-International Academic Advisement Center provides comprehensive support and advisement services to all new F-1 international undergraduate students. Individualized services include early outreach, academic advisement, first-semester enrollment into degree applicable courses, university orientation and second-semester referrals.

We are excited that you are at CSUN and look forward to getting to know you better.

Beginning Fall 2025 the Matador Advising Hub advises all Exploratory students and new International F-1 undergraduate students in all majors. If you are an incoming undergraduate (F-1 Visa) international student, please visit the Hub International Advisement page.

NCAA Exploratory student athletes are served by the Matador Achievement Center.
