The mission of the Advising Office is to assist undergraduate and graduate students in satisfying their graduation requirements and developing their career goals. We seek to attain this through respect and personalized attention in a nurturing, learning environment. We offer discipline-focused advisement and help to enhance students’ critical thinking, effective communication, and ethical decision-making. We partner with the Murray Koppelman School of Business faculty and administration to render a coordinated and comprehensive approach to student advisement. Our ultimate goal is to support students as they prepare to compete in a competitive, global job market.
