The College of Arts & Sciences places every student, upon matriculation, with an individual faculty adviser who can best help them form a personalized academic plan. An outcome of each academic adviser’s individualized guidance is that students come to understand the relationship between a particular discipline and a range of satisfying careers. Students also learn how an Arts & Sciences major can prepare them especially well for a life of consequence and meaning. Although the primary responsibility for setting academic goals and selecting courses rests with the student, the academic adviser fosters an ongoing conversation that cultivates self-reflection and development.

Students who enter the College of Arts & Sciences with a declared major are matched with a faculty adviser in that department. Each undeclared student works individually with an academic adviser to design a plan that is uniquely tailored to their needs and interests. During the pre-registration period each semester, all students in Arts & Sciences meet with their academic advisers before selecting and registering for courses.

In the College of Arts & Sciences, the career development office works with students to create and navigate a personalized career development program including major choice, personal branding, resume and LinkedIn development, networking, job search, professional development opportunities and graduate school advisement. Students can gain valuable work experience and explore career options through participation in credit-bearing experiential learning opportunities, including internships, research projects, shadowing, community service and part-time and summer employment.
