Faculty Advisors for Biology Majors

Faculty advisors are subject-matter experts within biological sciences. They can offer general guidance on areas such as individual academic and professional goals, or relevance of course content to a particular interest area within the major. For those students who are pursuing new areas of inquiry and study, faculty advisors act as mentors. In this role they encourage and guide students to participate in unique opportunities and can suggest coursework that will enrich the undergraduate experience. For those seeking general career advice related to academic interests, educational goals, and professional ambitions, please reach out to one of the faculty advisors.

If you have questions related to your major requirements, course prerequisites, School programs, school/university policies, or have a form that needs to be signed, please utilize Student Advising Services.
