Academic advising for undergraduates

Your academic advisors helps you excel academically, graduate on time, find your ideal path, and take important steps toward your dream career. 

When you arrive on campus as an undergraduate student, you will be assigned a pre-program advisor who will help you choose a major that aligns with your career goals, to map out your path to graduation and register for classes. 

Once you pick a major and are admitted to a degree-granting school, you will have access to your school’s academic advisors and career professionals, who specialize in your area of study.
