Advisement

One of the key aspects of the graduate school experience is the advisement process in which faculty and staff assist students in the development of a plan of study that helps them achieve their academic and career goals. There are two sources of advisement for students: administrators and faculty advisors.

Administrators

Administrators hold walk-in hours during the fall and spring semesters in order to assist students with advisement issues. Appointments outside of walk-in hours can be made throughout the year.

Please note that the last day of walk-in hours will be Monday, May 5th. Walk-In hours will resume in September.

Students should contact the following administrator based on their program of study:

    Faculty Advisors

    A faculty member is assigned to each student admitted to the Wagner School. Faculty advisors speak with students about career objectives and about how students can shape their programs of study at the Wagner School to meet these objectives. Faculty advisors help students select their elective courses in concentrated areas and in line with professional aspirations. Faculty are often able to identify specific courses that match students' interests and goals. Students should schedule appointments with their faculty advisors and are encouraged to seek out advice from all faculty and staff. Students are also encouraged to consult the Office of Career Services for career advisement.
