The School of World Studies Advising Office serves all SWS majors and minors with various
advising needs.  Our advising staff is knowledgeable and ready to aid students in regard to course selection, study abroad, other experiential learning opportunities and future career planning.  The main purpose of the SWS Advising Office is to provide effective and consistent academic advising to facilitate successful completion of degrees.

We strongly encourage students to schedule annual advising appointments in order to remain on track for graduation and to facilitate schedule classes appropriate for their major.
