Departmental Advisement
In some schools, students receive primary advisement in the department or program office of their declared or intended major. Within schools, systems of departmental advisement also vary to match the resources and curricular requirements in each area. While there may be some overlap with more general academic and administrative guidance, departmental advising frequently involves faculty and is intended to provide a more focused concentration on the knowledge, skills, and experiences associated with a particular discipline. Students should refer to individual department Web sites for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
