Welcome to Advising in the School of Social Sciences

You are strongly encouraged to consult regularly with an adviser.  Advisers review academic requirements, discuss prospective courses, and consider how those courses fit into your overall academic plan. They can also discuss the relationship between academic plans and prospective careers. They can also provide information about internships, graduate school, employment opportunities in your field, as well as offer other valuable advice.
