Academic advisors are available at both the college and department levels to help students explore academic options and career goals. Academic advisors in the college office assist freshman, sophomore, and pre-majors in exploring HHS majors & minors, understanding program admission criteria, reviewing general education requirements, and course planning. Junior and Senior declared majors are to seek advising through their department office.
