Department of History Academic Advising

Whether you’re needing help with general academic advising, deciding on a major, sorting out transfer credit, looking for referrals, choosing classes for next semester, or exploring careers, we’ve got you covered.

When to meet with a Professional Academic Advisor

Professional Academic Advisors can help you:

  • Explore and declare a major, minor, and/or concentration
  • Design a class schedule
  • Teach you how to use tools like the Registration system and the Degree Progress Report
  • Connect you with your Academic Department and other support offices
  • And much more!

  • Assist students with identifying internship and career opportunities
  • Offer guidance for students considering graduate school
  • Serve as references or write letters of recommendation
