The college endeavors to ensure that all students receive sound
academic advice and guidance during their undergraduate years.
First-year students and other students who have not decided upon a
particular course of study are advised by a special group of general
advisers working through the Office of Student Affairs. Students who
have declared a major are advised by a faculty member in the department
of their major. Prebusiness and business students are advised by
general advisers in the business school, 101 Engelhard Hall. It is
recommended that students declare a major by junior standing.
The academic deans also are available for guidance on academic matters,
and students should consult with them regarding college requirements,
the various academic regulations, or their program of study. The Career
Development Center is another useful resource for students seeking
information or guidance in selecting a major. For more information,
