Academic Advising

Each student is assigned a faculty advisor at the time of admissions into the HILS MS program. This faculty member advises the student on the selection of courses, reviews department requirements, and discusses with the student various approaches for achieving their goals within the framework of the HILS’s MS requirements.

Students are required to meet with their advisor at least once each term, but preferably more often, to discuss their progress and to keep abreast of any changes in plans. It is essential that students seek advice from their advisor during all phases of the graduate program.

In addition, each student completes an annual progress report followed by a progress review meeting with their advisor, the program director, the program associate director and the student affairs program manager.
