Supporting your Educational Journey

Academic Advising

Once you’re accepted, you’ll be assigned a four-year college advisor who will support you from before you arrive on campus through graduation. After you formally declare your major—typically at the end of your sophomore year—you’ll also be assigned a faculty advisor.

You’ll be able to work with both advisors to stay on track, connect with resources, and learn about unique opportunities that can help you take the next step in your journey.
