Advising
Advisors
Every undergraduate student in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences is assigned to an academic advisor in the Advising Center. After you declare a major, you will be advised by someone in your academic department. Advisors assist students in discovering and exploring their academic options and taking advantage of the many resources and opportunities available to them.
