Academic Advising

Entering students are assigned a faculty advisor. After the first year, students choose an advisor. Advisors for juniors and seniors are associated with their major. Advisors assist students with course selection and meeting program requirements, including filling out a long-term study plan. All faculty and staff members act as resources available to the student. Their involvement in discussion of issues and interpretation of program goals has long been a strength of Sterling.
