Find Your Major-Specific & Internship Advisor

In addition to the OBSS academic advisors, each department has a dedicated faculty advisor for students pursuing any major, minor, or concentration within that department. Their guidance supplements OBSS services. Faculty advisors help in situations involving credits from another university or a study abroad trip, course substitutions, or the waiver of prerequisites. They can also speak about course requirements and help when you have difficulty with coursework.
