Advisor Contact List
Students switching majors from another college unit at the University into the College of Liberal Arts should consider first meeting with a college advisor.
All new, incoming transfer students must meet with a college advisor first, before meeting with a departmental faculty advisor.
For all other programs, please contact the College of Liberal Arts Student Center.
*Due to potential remote operations, please contact advisors by email or phone before visiting physical office locations.
Some of the Faculty Mentors may not be available over the summer and winter break. Please contact General Liberal Arts Advising for assistance.
