You can meet with an academic advisor at any point in your studies and they are your primary source of information about curriculum, policies, licensure and administrative procedures.

Content Faculty Advisors

In addition to your assigned academic advisor, graduate students in Secondary Education, World Language, Early Childhood Education, and Counseling are assigned faculty advisors called > Content Advisors. Students should meet with their content advisor soon after beginning the program for an evaluation of previous coursework to determine if additional coursework is needed in the subject area.
