Getting Connected with Your Program Advisor One of the most important people in your graduate school career is your program advisor. Your advisor will be with you from the time you apply to the day your graduate.
- As an applicant, the program advisor will provide you an understanding of the program, its coursework, and the value the program will bring to your life.
- Once you have been admitted, your program advisor will work with you to develop a plan of study which will list all of the courses you will take. Your advisor will also clear you to register for classes.
- During the time that you are a graduate student, your program advisor will be a vital source of support, advice, and encouragement.
- As you near the end of your program, your advisor will help you prepare for your culminating experience, whether that means comprehensive exams, thesis defense, certification exams, or some combination of them all.
