The Academic Advising Center offers a centralized organization to support full-
time undergraduates in creating educational plans congruent with their individual
objectives. The center serves as a general information clearinghouse for the wide
range of majors and minors, the program requirements throughout all
undergraduate programs, and other curricular programs, i.e., service learning,
study abroad.
For first- and second-year students who have not declared majors, the center
serves as a primary point of contact, and the center's staff assists students to
refine their academic goals, understand their choices, and assess their options,
while emphasizing the belief that the students shoulder ultimate responsibility for
making decisions about educational plans and setting goals and objectives. The
center will continue to serve juniors and seniors to ensure progress toward their
degrees, complementing the work of faculty advisers in the schools.
Each school will appoint faculty members from each area or department to work
with the center's professional academic advisers to formulate discipline-specific
policies that meet accreditation standards. The center's staff also includes pre-
professional advisers to assist students in applying to programs in law, medicine
and other health professions.
