Advisory Assistance
Immediately following admission to the program, students will be assigned to the Program Director and Assistant Program Directors, as their advisors. The Advisors oversees the student's progress through the program and may make recommendations for supplementary coursework to augment weak areas.
The advisory process is vital to the success of the student's progress. Because of the importance of this process, students are strongly encouraged to meet with their Advisor regularly.
