The College of Liberal Arts and Oregon State University want every student to succeed. This requires that students understand and meet the academic requirements set by the college and University. They are encouraged to take charge of their academic career and meet with an adviser. That individual will assist students in course selection, listen to academic concerns, explain program options, discuss internships and study abroad programs, and outline academic progress. Wise students will consult with their departmental adviser every term.
Advisers are valuable resources.
