Advising Information

Students are advised throughout their time at the University to discuss goals, career alternatives, and degree progress.

First year students and initial transfer students are advised by the Pott College Student Advising and Resource Center. More advanced students are advised by biology faculty depending on each student's personal interests and goals.

While each student's degree path is highly individualized, you can see hypothetical 4-year plans here for a student starting in Math 111 (College Algebra) or Math 115 (Pre-Calculus). Remember that your personal degree path will depend on your goals, high school preparation, dual credit, AP scores, and interests.

Personalized Advising

Our faculty represent a wide range of specialties so we can give you the tailored advising you need to reach your personal goals.
