The advisory setting allows you and your adviser to establish a friendly relationship.
For bachelor of arts students, their Foundation Seminar instructor serves as academic adviser for the first two years. For students in the bachelor of science in business administration and various bachelor of science and bachelor of music degrees, the Foundation Seminar instructor will serve in an informal advisory capacity and another faculty member in the student’s degree program will serve as the official adviser for curricular requirements for the major. Entering students will have the opportunity to meet with their advisers before beginning their fall courses to discuss their program of courses.
Engineering students are assigned advisers who are faculty members in the student’s proposed program. Generally, an engineering student has the same adviser for all four years.
