We’re here to help you make the most of your academic experience—whether it’s choosing the right courses, staying on track with degree requirements, exploring study abroad options, or planning for life after graduation.

Advising is more than just picking classes; it’s about setting yourself up for success. Meeting with an academic advisor at least once per semester ensures you’re making informed decisions and taking advantage of all the opportunities available to you. We’re here to answer your questions and support your goals—let’s make your college journey a great one!
