Every student entering the program is assigned a faculty advisor.
The advisor assists in the selection of both required and elective courses and helps design a program geared to the student's needs and career interests. This student-advisor relationship provides an avenue for the student to become familiar with faculty and departmental activities and to find out about opportunities for internships and for permanent employment upon graduation.
