At its core, advising exists to help you understand the academic requirements of your chosen degree.
But at 91制片厂, it is more than "what do I need to take." Advising is a one-on-one experience that gives you the chance to talk with a professional in your discipline. It can help you solidify your career choice, aim you towards internship opportunities, and give you someone to talk to about how you might advance beyond the university.
Yet, that pesky "what do I need to take" is often one of the trickiest things -- and advisors can help you navigate all the requirements.
Remember, at the core of advising is advice. It is your responsibility as a student to understand your catalog and your requirements, not your advisors. So be pro-active. Ask questions. Double check. And stay on top of your Degreeworks. It is YOUR degree.
