(last updated 03/31/2025)
Major advisors are faculty advisors who represent their respective academic departments or disciplines and are intimately familiar with specific major or minor requirements. They have the most current knowledge of discipline-specific information such as:
- course offerings
- curricular sequence
- independent study projects
- research and internships
- professional organizations
- current trends
- graduate schools
- careers related to the field
We strongly recommend that students communicate frequently with major and minor advisors, even prior to declaring a major or minor, so they can make informed decisions. Feel free to reach out to any major or minor advisor at any time. After declaring a major or minor, we encourage you to meet with your major and minor advisors each semester.
