These students may go directly to the department advisers for any help they need in developing the major. Students electing to develop an Individual Major do so under the direction of a faculty member who is qualified to direct work in the field of interest. Because the college views the Individual Major as a joint effort between the faculty member and the student from beginning to end, the adviser's role is especially important for students pursuing this major. Special department advisers are available to help any students, primarily sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who have decided on their major. These advisers are located in department offices throughout the campus.
Office hours vary with departments.
