Dual Advisement
In some cases, a student will have more than one assigned
adviser. The purpose of this dual advisement is not only to insure
that a student meets academic requirements but also to insure that
any special needs are addressed. Students participating in the
following University programs require dual advisement: Educational
Opportunity Program, Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Plus Program, Student
Athlete Advisement, College of Education and Human Services
students, and freshmen.
Faculty and Advisement
The faculty consists of dedicated scholars, who are widely
published and respected in their fields of expertise. They are
experienced educators, knowledgeable in their subject areas, who
model current educational practice in their courses. A faculty
adviser will assist you with program planning, course selection,
credit transfer or any questions you may have. In addition, you will
have an adviser in your content area in the College of Arts and
Sciences.
