At most colleges and universities, you get one advisor. But we care so much about you and your academic success, that we give you two advisors. In fact, all students get access to an advising team composed of a professional academic advisor and a faculty academic advisor. And together they help track your path to degree completion. It’s part of our Personalized Learning effort.
