Academic Advising

A Dedicated Layer of Support

All Honors students work with a dedicated Honors Academic Advisor, who functions as an additional layer of support beyond your primary school advisor (ex. Swanson, Business, Dietrich, etc.). While your home school advisor keeps you on track for your major, your Honors advisor ensures you are making consistent progress toward your Honors pathway requirements for graduation.

How Our Advisors Help You Fit It All Together

Honors Academic Advisors look at your undergraduate experience holistically, helping you build a customized, interdisciplinary journey from start to finish. We work with you to:

  • Navigate Honors Pathways: Understand the differences between the Honors Distinction, the Honors Degree, and the Bachelor of Philosophy (BPhil) to find the best fit for your goals.

  • Integrate Your Curriculum: Seamlessly blend your major's coursework with your specialized Honors requirements.

  • Expand Your Horizons: Identify global experiences and undergraduate research opportunities that complement your studies.

  • Connect with Mentorship: Bridge the gap between classroom learning and advanced research or prestigious national scholarship and fellowship opportunities.

  • Plan for the Future: Align your academic choices with long-term career development to confidently launch your next step.
