Academic advisors are educators and problem solvers who advocate for students as they navigate their personal journeys through higher education and attain their academic goals. Academic advisors open doors to new opportunities for self-awareness and growth, empowering students to define their roles as citizens within local and global communities.
The College of Fine Arts undergraduate academic advising team works collaboratively to help you have the resources and connect to the faculty, staff, and administration that you need to to be a successful student. College of Fine Arts academic advisors help you know your stuff, learn what you need to do early, and what you need to do often to create success.
