Academic Advising

Yes, the academics here are challenging. But we have a system of support to help you navigate it.

Through your academic program, you will be paired with a dedicated, caring professor who will serve as your advisor and mentor. These faculty members provide one-on-one time, and go above and beyond to help you find your way. And they are industry insiders. They know and understand the field you're about to enter.

Your advisor will...

  • Offer guidance on which classes to take, and the kinds of internships, extracurricular opportunities, and other hands-on experiences to pursue to best position you for career success.
  • Help you find an internship or job thanks to their many industry and field connections.
  • Help walk you through a change in major if you're looking for a new direction.

Academic Support & Monitoring

We all need extra help from time to time. From academic coaching to our tutoring, math and writing centers, we will help you stay on track. We have a team of caring professionals who will keep an eye on your academic progress, and reach out to you, your professors, and others on campus when needed. We also use early assessment and retention alert programs to help identify struggling students so we can step in and help as soon as possible.

Academic Coaching is provided through one-on-one sessions or group meetings with a trained academic coach who will assist you in a variety of areas, including:
