Obtaining an Academic Advisor

Students are encouraged and expected to select a member of the graduate faculty to serve as their academic advisor. Further, they are free to change advisors as their interests develop during the course of their graduate studies. The Director of Graduate Study is also available for academic advising.

Students need to have no doubt as to their academic standing and should not hesitate to approach the appropriate graduate faculty member for counsel. In each course, the instructor will be glad to discuss the student's work with him/her. Regarding more general questions, either the Director of Graduate Study or the departmental chair is available for consultation.
