Advising

Academic Advising opens in a new tab is your central resource for guidance and support, providing a partnership that extends from the summer before your first year through graduation. 

The Office of Academic Advising is here to help you: 

• Explore your academic interests leading up to choosing a major.

• Craft a balanced and fulfilling academic plan.

• Connect with university resources like undergraduate research opportunities, fellowships, and study away programs. 

• Prepare for post-graduate pathways, including careers and advanced degrees.

Your academic advisors are key partners in your educational experience. They are here to help you think strategically about your goals, connect your interests to your academic plan, and find meaning in your unique academic journey.

Once you have declared your major, you will be assigned a program advisor who will provide specific advising within a major. This might include direction regarding specific major requirements, monitoring degree progress, and providing guidance with long-term academic planning and goals within your specific field. 

You can find out more about the advising guidelines and expectations for specific majors by reaching out to the student services officer or department representative identified on the department contact information page.
