HOW ARE PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS AND FACULTY ADVISORS DIFFERENT?

Faculty advisors are experts in your major field of study and possess an unparalleled knowledge of course content and career possibilities within your field. They are able to provide insight and mentoring as it pertains to graduate programs and future employment. As professors, they also understand the aptitude and determination required to successfully complete the academic requirements of the major. Finally, faculty advisors are well connected locally, regionally, and across the United States.

Professional advisors help provide a broad perspective of the undergraduate experience and assist in navigating academic policies and procedures. In particular, professional advisors provide assistance in the following areas:

• Understanding requirements for secondary admission
• Course registration and scheduling
• Major requirements
• Discussion of potential minors or a second major
• Integrating Study Abroad into your academic plan
• Scholarship opportunities
• General Education requirements
• Transfer courses from another institution (in particular, for students who take courses elsewhere over the summer)
• Appropriate referrals to University Resources
