Advising

The department’s advising model offers students the opportunity to establish an on-going relationship with a faculty mentor, someone who will be matched to your academic interests when you declare a concentration. Your mentor can give you general advice, talk with you about how your courses fit together into a coherent program, and point you in the right direction if you need specific help on other matters. You are encouraged to talk with your mentor at least once every semester by making direct appointments. Click here to read about faculty interests.
