Need Advising?
Choosing coursework and a specific focus is both an exciting and challenging task. We encourage majors to talk with their advisors early and often about course choices, career plans and graduation readiness.
Your advisor will work with you to plan your undergraduate and graduate program, discuss any problems you might encounter and serve as a liaison with the Division of Graduate Studies for our graduate students.
Visit our advising page to find an advisor or visit the Advising Resource Center.
