Advising

Faculty Advisor
The Undergraduate Student Services Office assigns a faculty member as your major advisor after declaring your major.

Develop a good student/advisor relationship.

  • Consult with your advisor at least once a semester but more often for specific concerns.
  • Your advisor can assist with questions about coursework to fulfill requirements and career goals.
  • He/She can be a good mentor for your present and future goals.

Remember, it doesn't hurt to get a good letter of recommendation from your advisor.

IB Faculty
We encourage you to meet and talk to other IB faculty, particularly those conducting research in an area that interests you.

Graduate Student Instructors (GSIs)
Establish and maintain contact with your Graduate Student Instructor (GSI). GSIs can be supportive in helping students achieve immediate and long-range goals.
