Graduate Advising

Graduate-level advising requires a specialized approach to student success. That’s why we have advisors dedicated exclusively to assisting our master’s and doctoral students. Graduate students also benefit from direct contact with their faculty program coordinator. Course and curriculum questions should be directed to the faculty program coordinator, while application, policy and procedure questions should be directed to the appropriate graduate advisor.
