Advising
Academic advising is the key to making progress in a degree program and graduating on time. It is very important for students to have regular contact with their academic advisors.
In addition to focusing on University Core Curriculum and major requirements, advisement can also be the beginning of an important professional mentoring relationship, assisting students in learning more about their chosen career field.
