Advising

See Graduate Advising for a statement of university policy on graduate advising.

Entering students must meet with the director of the master’s program and have their advisor's approval, in writing, of program proposals.

The university requires that the graduate advisor be assigned in the student’s first graduate quarter even though the undergraduate career may still be open. The university also requires that the Master’s Degree Program Proposal be completed by the student and approved by the department by the end of the student’s first graduate quarter.
