Advising for Majors & Minors
Chemistry has a team of advisors eager to help you get the most out of your educational program. With so many policies, procedures, and deadlines, as well as opportunities for chemistry experience, it is wise to consult with your advisor each semester to ensure that you're track toward degree completion and that you are aware of other valuable learning experiences.
Beyond just scheduling courses, advisors also:
- help you identify and explore career options, and help you develop a plan for reaching long term goals.
- encourage you to take advantage of college success strategies and resources to help you reach academic goals.
- promote your involvement in on-campus, co-curricular experiences that will help you develop your interpersonal and leadership abilities.
- promote your involvement in off-campus, experiential-learning experiences to help you explore and clarify your career options.
- promote your ability to think critically, solve problems, and make informed decisions about your future life plans.
- serve as mentors by providing personal guidance, support, and advocacy.
- refer you to additional campus professionals who can also coach you in specific areas of development.
