Why do I need an Academic Advisor?

September 19, 2018

Advisors guide you in formulating your educational plans, help you to translate your goals, interests, and career aspirations into an effective education. Your advisor will help you understand the academic requirements that give structure to your study. If you are an undeclared student your advisor will be assigned through the Students First Office. In your first several semesters, meet with your advisor regularly to plan each semester’s academic program and to explore how your interests can lead to the choice of a major and even a career.
