An advisor in the College of Sciences should be consulted as soon as possible after the student enters the University, and such consultation on a regular basis thereafter is encouraged. Departmental honors programs require research under the direction of a faculty member, which gives students an opportunity to further their laboratory skills. Pre-professional advisors in the College of Sciences are available to help students prepare for application and entrance into a professional school. These advisors are aware of the current status of professional programs and keep students informed of pertinent information in their areas of interest.
