Department and Faculty Advisement

Each department in the college provides advisement and counseling to students enrolled in its degree programs. Master's degree-seeking students and all specialist and doctoral degree-seeking students are assigned a faculty adviser for academic and career development, the selection of electives, and any aspect of the students' major area of study. The initiative for contact with the faculty adviser lies with the students, who may also have ready access to other members of the faculty.
