Department of History Academic Advising

As an MSU Denver student, you have access to professional academic advisors and faculty advisors that can help you navigate college. 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!

When to meet with a Faculty Advisor

Faculty are the people who teach your classes and some of them advise too! Faculty Advisors:

  • Are experts in their fields
  • Provide students with recommendations for major or minor course selection
  • Assist students with identifying internship and career opportunities
  • Offer guidance for students considering graduate school
  • Serve as references or write letters of recommendation
