The Undergraduate Experience

Expert Guidance from Day One

Robust advising support, right when you need it

You see your pre-major advisor early and often—after all, they’ll be one of your first professors! 

With a deep understanding of your academic strengths and professional interests, your advisor helps you map out your undergraduate journey. They listen to your ideas, help you plan for minimum credit requirements and application processes, and work hard to ensure your path to graduation is as smooth as possible.
