Student advising

Planning and flexibility are key to success. New political science and international affairs majors should schedule an advising appointment with a department faculty advisor.

Advisors help students plan their curriculum and provide information on courses and department opportunities. All incoming freshmen and sophomores should meet with an undergraduate advisor for initial advisement.
