Advising for International Studies Majors
Academic Advising through Graduation
All International Studies students are assigned a professional advisor in the Academic Advising Center. Students meet with their advisor at least twice each semester, and must see their advisor in order to register. In addition to discussing the International Studies major, your adviser can discuss other majors, minors and certificate programs; help you with next semester's schedule; assist you in mapping out a plan to graduation; and lend an ear if you are having academic difficulties or need to talk about personal issues. Your advisor can answer questions about anything on campus from “How do I drop and add classes” to “Where can I get career information?”
Study Abroad Advising
Students interested in studying abroad should first visit the Study Abroad website or resource room. The resource room is staffed by peer advisers who have previously studied abroad. Students can consult with peer advisers about specific programs and travel experiences, as well as general questions about the study abroad experience. Once students have researched potential programs they should make an appointment with a Study Abroad advisor. Students can schedule an appointment by visiting the Office for Study Abroad (1111 UCC) or calling 335-0353.
Departmental Resources
International Studies students may contact the International Studies program office when they have concerns or questions about course approvals, the Senior Project, or updating their degree evaluation. Call the departmental secretary at 335-0368 to make an appointment with the program office.
