Advising

For answers to routine questions concerning preparation and progress through the major, students should consult the Decision Sciences Department. Non-routine questions should be directed to the department chair. Questions concerning individual areas of study should be directed to faculty who teach in that area. 

After the declaration of major, a student will be assigned a faculty adviser with whom the student must consult concerning required and elective courses in the chosen major and concentration. The faculty adviser may also be a source of information concerning career objectives and opportunities.
