Students will find additional resources in the BGSU Libraries that will assist them with research on a variety of career options. Pre-Major Advising BGSU recognizes the special needs of freshmen who wish to explore a variety of academic programs before declaring a major. Pre-major advisers help students select classes that will expose them to new areas of study, determine their strengths and weaknesses and meet University requirements. The advisers also assist students in locating appropriate resources in areas that may be of interest. A computer listserve allows advisers to communicate quickly and frequently with students.
Students also receive their adviser's email address to supplement advising sessions.
